Status
Beginning on October 9, 2025, a survey team associated with MassDOT’s design-builder, Middlesex-TranSystems, for the construction of the new Basiliere Bridge will be present in the area around the bridge’s northern end, nearest the intersection of Bridge Street/Merrimack Street/Water Street. This non-invasive survey will not impact pedestrian or vehicle traffic and is one of multiple early action steps which will be performed before major operations begin.
It is currently anticipated that later in October, subsurface investigations will take place with associated off-peak traffic impacts. More information will be provided prior to this work. Major construction operations remain several months away. A public information meeting detailing construction impacts including temporary traffic control will be provided thirty days before operations begin.
