Detour for Bacon Street Bridge Construction August 2 – September 9
Updated on August 3, 2021
We're replacing the bridge that carries the Framingham/Worcester Line over Bacon Street in Wellesley. From August 2 – September 9, crews will be working on construction of the Bacon Street Bridge.
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
Crews will begin work on Monday, August 2, and finish on Friday, September 9. Work hours will be from 8 AM to 3 PM, Mondays through Fridays.
Neighborhood Impacts
To allow for this work, Bacon Street traffic will be detoured during work hours. 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.
