A bridge replacement project in downtown Boston that once would have taken several years to complete was traffic-ready after only days of closure. The bridge, owned by the city of Boston, carries 22,000 vehicles daily on Massachusetts Avenue, running over Commonwealth Avenue below, and is the most heavily used bus route in Boston. But, built in 1937 and retrofitted in the 1950s with crash barriers, the bridge has been in a dangerous state of deterioration. “The existing conditions are such that the city had gone in prior to us and this contract being awarded, and shored up the bridge, putting in temporary support posts underneath at mid span. It was that critical, they netted it,” said Chuck Labbee, area engineer for the Massachusetts see BRIDGE page 10

While the bridge is owned by the city, MassDOT is the lead agency on overseeing the $8.1 million project, which is funded primarily through federal dollars.
