Work on Lynn Fells Parkway Bridge Continues August 13 – 16
Updated on August 5, 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. Crews will close Lynn Fells Parkway beneath the bridge to safely install bridge foundations from 8 PM on Friday, August 13, through 5 AM on Monday, August 16.
This project will bring the bridge to a State of Good Repair, improving safety, resiliency, and reliability of the Haverhill Line.
