Public Hearing Notice  Canterbury Street Bridge Rehabilitation 25% Design Public Hearing

What is happening?

MassDOT will host a live, in-person design public hearing to provide community members with an opportunity to become fully acquainted with the proposed rehabilitation of the Canterbury Street Bridge which carries its namesake roadway over Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor in the Roslindale neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. While the existing bridge remains safe for all users, critical components of the structure must be replaced to ensure that it can continue to provide a safe, multimodal crossing of the railroad line.

How will this affect you?

The proposed project consists of replacing the superstructure and roadway deck, as well as making sidewalk repairs to the bridge carrying Canterbury Street over Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor. The rehabilitation will require the full and/or partial shutdown of the bridge and a detour of traffic to other neighborhood roadways. A discussion of the potential impacts of these closures will be provided at the hearing along with a timeline for the rehabilitation and how community members can stay informed during construction.

Project inquiries, written statements and other exhibits regarding the proposed undertaking may be submitted to Carrie E. Lavallee, P.E., Chief Engineer, via e-mail to MassDOTProjectManagement@dot.state.ma.us or via US Mail to Suite 7550, 10 Park Plaza, Boston, MA 02116, Attention: Project Management, Project File No. 608197. Statements and exhibits intended for inclusion in the hearing transcript must be emailed or postmarked no later than ten (10) business days (14 calendar days) after the hearing is hosted.
