Public Meeting Notice  North Washington Street bridge replacement November 28 public meeting

At these public information meetings, the project team will provide an overview of the project to date, including changes that allow the general contractor, JF White, to install a temporary parallel bridge to speed up construction and reduce traffic and pedestrian impacts. The project team will also present construction staging and traffic plans and discuss public outreach and next steps. A question and answer period will follow the presentation.

The North Washington Street Bridge has been repaired multiple times to extend its lifespan and costs the City of Boston between $3-5 million each year to keep safely operational. The City of Boston and MassDOT undertook a joint planning process from 2004 to 2017 to design the new bridge that included coordination with local, state, and federal agencies and extensive public outreach. After more than a century of service, the old bridge will be replaced with a new multimodal bridge for the 21st century.
