Public Meeting Notice  Boston - Sumner Tunnel Restoration Project Virtual Public Information Meeting

The Massachusetts Department of Transportation is hosting two virtual public information meetings to discuss the upcoming full closure of the Sumner Tunnel. The closure will begin July 5, 2024 and end August 5, 2024. These meetings will discuss steps the public can take to reduce the closure’s impact on their commute

Purpose:

This tunnel restoration project will impact abutters and regional traffic. All residents, abutters, local business owners, and interested commuters are invited to attend. Meeting attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions and offer comments. Both meetings will provide the same information. Holding two meetings is an effort by MassDOT to accommodate everyone’s schedules as best as possible. Spanish and Arabic interpretation will be available at the meeting.
