PLEASE DISTRIBUTE

On Sunday, April 7, the Massachusetts Department of Transportation will be closing the bridge that carries Memorial Drive over the rotary at the BU Bridge in Cambridge. The bridge, known as the Reid Overpass, will be closed to all vehicles, as well as to cyclists and pedestrians in both the eastbound and westbound directions. All vehicles will be diverted to the surface roadways and through the BU Bridge/Brookline Street rotary, and back on to Memorial Drive. The overpass will be closed to allow crews to perform structural repairs; the work is anticipated to last six months. For transportation news and updates visit the MassDOT website at www.mass.gov/massdot<http://www.mass.gov/massdot>.

The Sidney Street and Waverly Street connection to Memorial Drive via the BU rotary will be significantly impacted by this construction.  Please encourage your employees and or visitors to walk, bike or take transit, whenever possible.  If people do drive and are accessing the turnpike westbound, Mass. Ave. to Newbury Street may be a more attractive alternative.
