BU Bridge To Be Shut Down For A Bit
Written by Boston Biker on Jan 08This just in from BUBikes
This just in from the Department of Conservation and Recreation:
On Jan 8-9, Thursday night to Friday morning, 10 pm to 5 am, Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) crews will be making repairs to the BU Bridge sidewalks. During the work, both Cambridge-to-Boston lanes will be closed, and the only traffic allowed to cross in that direction will be Boston-bound MBTA or Boston University buses. All other traffic from Cambridge to Boston will be detoured to the Massachusetts Avenue Bridge.
So, if you plan to ride the BU Bridge, be aware.
that’s all – we’ll keep you updated on anything else that comes our way.
Yes thats right, you just witnessed the rare double “this just in.” Something to tell the grandkids about.
