Bacon Street Bridge Overnight Demolition Begins April 11
Updated on April 5, 2021
We're replacing the bridge that carries the Framingham/Worcester Line over Bacon Street in Wellesley. On April 11, crews will begin overnight demolition work. A detour route will be in place during overnight closures.
This project will bring the bridge to a State of Good Repair, improving safety, resiliency, and reliability of the Worcester Line.
Building a Better T
As part of our $9.6 billion, 5-year capital investment plan, we're renovating stations, modernizing fare collection systems, upgrading services for our buses, subways, and ferries, and improving the accessibility of the entire system.
What to Expect During this Work
Work will begin at 8 PM on Sunday, April 11 and continue Monday through Friday from 8 PM to 5 AM until April 23.
There will be an additional full weekend of demolition work from 8 PM on Friday, April 23 to 5 AM on Monday, April 26.
Neighborhood Impacts
To allow for this work, Bacon Street near Route 135/East Central Street will be closed to travel during work hours and the weekend of April 24. We will install signage indicating the detour route before construction begins. We encourage drivers to avoid the area or seek alternate routes to avoid delays.
