To install the final structural beam over the Commuter Rail tracks, a crane will be set up in an extended workzone, requiring temporary traffic pattern changes on Boylston Street between Mass Ave and Ipswich/Hemenway.
Timing: Saturday 12/14, 5 a.m. - 3 p.m.
Details: During work, Boylston Street will be one-way only into the city and closed to traffic westbound toward Charlesgate. Westbound traffic will be detoured via Mass Ave and the Fenway, with a truck detour using Hemenway Street. Police details, barriers, and signage will direct traffic. Pedestrian access will be maintained via the southern Boylston Street sidewalk. Please plan your travel accordingly.
Timing has been coordinated through the City of Boston. This operation is weather-dependent. We will include a reminder in Friday’s look-ahead.
