Public Meeting Notice  Cambridge – Bridge replacement, C-01-026, Memorial Drive over Brookline Street

A Public Informational Meeting will be held by MassDOT to discuss the proposed project in Cambridge, MA.

Purpose:

The purpose of this meeting is to provide the public with the opportunity to become fully acquainted with the proposed project. All views and comments made at the meeting will be reviewed and considered to the maximum extent possible.

Proposal:

The proposed project consists of removing the existing William Reid Overpass, which, though safe for all users, has reached the end of its useful lifespan and should be replaced, with either a reconstructed intersection of Memorial Drive and Brookline Street and a new overpass or a reconstructed intersection in which Memorial Drive and Brookline Street would cross each other at-grade. The project also proposes replacing the bridge carrying Memorial Drive over the Grand Junction Railroad Line. Additional goals of this project include significant enhancements to bicycle and pedestrian connectivity at the intersection and consolidation of transportation assets to return space to accessible parkland if possible.

MassDOT provides reasonable accommodations and/or language assistance free of charge upon request (including but not limited to interpreters in American Sign Language and languages other than English, open or closed captioning for videos, assistive listening devices and alternate material formats, such as audio tapes, Braille and large print), as available.
