BU Bridge Construction, Bikers Take Notice
Written by Boston Biker on May 21
The Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) started work this week to replace both sidewalks on the Boston University Bridge, which crosses the Charles River between Cambridge and Boston.
Work is being done on one sidewalk at a time, beginning with the upstream, Cambridge-to- Boston, side. During the construction, the sidewalk and adjacent traffic lane will be closed, and pedestrians will be detoured to the other sidewalk. Work on both sides is expected to take about three months. Message boards have been installed at each end of the bridge advising motorists of the construction and lane restrictions.
In addition, during the work, the bike/pedestrian path that passes under the bridge on the Boston side will be closed beginning May 20th from 8 PM – 4 AM each night, until further notice. Signs posted at the Massachusetts Avenue Bridge and River Street Bridge in Boston will direct pathway users to cross the river to Memorial Drive as an alternative route.
The DCR contact for this project is Wendy Fox (617-626-1453).
