DCR TO IMPLEMENT DETOUR OF ALEWIFE RESERVATION


DCR TO IMPLEMENT DETOUR OF ALEWIFE RESERVATION

MULTI-USE PATH AS PART OF CAMBRIDGE INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT

 

As a part of the Cambridge Park Drive Area Drainage Improvements and Stormwater Wetland Project, the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) will implement the first phase of a detour to the Alewife Reservation Multi-Use Path. The detour, which will be in place between June 17th and mid-August 2011, will lead onto Cambridge Park Drive toward the Alewife T Station. Signs have been posted directing path users through the detour. The path will then re-open in mid-August until early October 2011, at which time the detour will be reinstated and will remain in place for the remaining duration of the construction project, which is scheduled to be complete by April 2013.

The project, which is managed by the City of Cambridge Department of Public Works, is part of the Alewife Sewer Separation Project that will separate the combined sanitary wastewater and stormwater infrastructure in the Huron Avenue and Concord Avenue neighborhoods east of Fresh Pond as part of the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority’s (MWRA) Long Term Combined Sewer Overflow Control Plan for the Alewife Brook. Additional information about this project can be obtained by visiting http://www.cambridgema.gov/theworks/cityprojects.aspx and clicking on the link to the Cambridge Park Drive Area Drainage Improvements and Stormwater Wetland Project.
