Main Street Bridge Update 4/1/2014

You can get a close up view from the pedestrian walkway between Main St. and Beacon St. East, or a bird's eye view from the second floor of the parking garage.

 

 

From Main Street Initiative President John Moriarty:

 

We are well into day two of the Beacon Street East detour and traffic appears to be moving fairly well.  The small exception has been when traffic slows down because of genuine interest in seeing the progress being made.  If you find yourself falling into the category of person who finds big construction projects fascinating, please take a look at our Facebook page to see Melissa’s pictures and updates.

 

There will be a presentation tomorrow morning at City Hall by the project team, at 8:00 a.m. in room 200 A.

 

As always, please forward questions to Paul, or drop me a line and I will see that they get to him.  As I am writing this, I am collating a short list to send to him.  I will post them and the answers as they are confirmed.

 

Enjoy Spring, and Paul’s update below.

 

Hi All – Update this a.m. (Tuesday 4/1),

 

n  Phase 1 Detour in effect
 
n  Bridge work will essentially be confined to the Beacon St. East construction area

 

n  Surveyor will be working securing elevation data on points around the perimeter of the bridge, at times outside of the construction zone.  Traffic should flow unimpeded.

 

If you have questions or concerns, please call.  Thanks,  -- Paul
