The Mass Highway work to the bridge deck and top support systems announced earlier this year, will be commencing this week.
All work will be done between the hours of 8pm and 4am.
For the next seven nights, ‘spot’ work will be done on bridge joints, and motorists can expect minor delays.
After October 21st, the deck/surface work will begin, which will necessitate bridge closure from 8pm to 4am Sunday through Thursday. Traffic will be detoured to the O’Donnell/School Street Bridge during this time.
All work is projected to be complete in 60 days.
It appears from what I can see that the repairs do not include the relining and install of signage missing on the ramp going up from Wood/Middlesex St. over the rourke Bridge. This was originally two lanes merging to 1 approx. 800 ft up the ramp with appropriate signage. The lights are timed for this traffic pattern. Does the city or state plan to reline and replace the missing sign? Thank you Jim
