Steel Assembly Work for the Lynn Fells Parkway Bridge August 27 – 30
Updated on August 12, 2021
We’re replacing the Lynn Fells Parkway Bridge, which carries the Haverhill Line of the Commuter Rail over the Lynn Fells Parkway in Melrose. On August 27, crews will begin assembling the new bridge superstructure.
This project will bring the bridge to a State of Good Repair, improving safety, resiliency, and reliability of the Haverhill 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 Friday, August 27, and continue around the clock through 5 AM on Monday, August 30.
Neighborhood Impacts
Lynn Fells Parkway and Vinton Street will be detoured through the weekend. We will install signage indicating the detour route before construction begins. We encourage drivers to avoid the area or use alternate routes to avoid delays.
