We're replacing the bridge that carries the Framingham/Worcester Line over Bacon Street in Wellesley. On March 26, crews will begin installing new foundations for the bridge at the track level. Crews will work around the clock through the weekend.
This project will bring the bridge to a State of Good Repair, improving safety, resiliency, and reliability of the Worcester Line.

Work will begin at 8 PM on Friday, March 26, and continue through 5 AM on Monday, March 29.
Service Impacts
Shuttles will replace train service on the Framingham/Worcester Line all day on Saturday and Sunday.

Neighborhood Impacts
To allow for this work, Bacon Street at Route 135/Central Street and Central/East Central Street will be detoured through the weekend. We will install signage indicating the detour route before any major construction begins. We encourage drivers to avoid the area or seek alternate routes to avoid delays.

The schedule for this major infrastructure project is weather dependent and subject to change without notice.
