Tunnel Preparation Work Begins at the Dorchester Avenue Bridge
Updated on March 4, 2022
We’re replacing the bridge that carries vehicles, pedestrians, and bicyclists over the Red Line.
This project will bring the bridge to a State of Good Repair, improving safety, resiliency, and reliability of the Red Line.
