Construction and traffic management
The roadway over the Eliot Bridge will remain open during construction. Two travel lanes will remain open in each direction utilizing lane shifts and temporary barriers. Pedestrian access will be maintained on one side of the bridge and will entail a pedestrian detour route.
The bridge spans over the Charles River which has heavy marine traffic throughout the day. The contractor will be required to occupy only one span over the water at a time, leaving the other two spans open for marine traffic.
Work will take place eight hours a days, five days a week. There will be no work before 7AM or after 4PM. No work will be done on weekends, holidays, or the day before or the day after a holiday without approval by the Engineer.
