Mass Ave Detour

Written by Boston Biker on Oct 16

They are tearing up Mass Ave for the next couple weeks…sigh, here is how to deal with it, from the city:


The city will begin construction on Massachusetts Ave from Boylston St to Westland Ave. During the construction, the roadway will be milled then paved with a temporary surface and re-striped with limited* and temporary markings.

For the next month, the area will be more uncomfortable for anyone who is biking or driving in the construction zone. If you are biking in the area, please consider taking this alternative route. If you are driving in the area, please be aware that there is an active construction site and you may need to shift lanes.

Please bear with us during construction. Once construction is complete, the roadway will be re-paved and striped with the final markings.

*The temporary markings will be limited to the double yellow centerline and dashed white lines to designate travel lanes.

This is a special alert about the Vision Zero project on Mass Ave. Vision Zero Boston is the City of Boston’s commitment to focus the city’s resources on proven strategies to eliminate fatal and serious traffic crashes in the city by 2030.
