Description

Mass Avenue Partial Construction Project: Waterhouse Street to Linnaean Street

 

Construction Open House will be held on March 26 from 5:30 PM – 7:30 PM at the Lesley University Atrium. This will be a chance to see the design for this section of Mass Ave and learn more about what to expect during construction.  View the full flyer here.

Since 2022, the City has been planning separated bike lanes and other safety improvements on Mass Avenue between Waterhouse Street and Alewife Brook Parkway. When complete, the project will include:

  • Separated bicycle facilities
  • Improved & additional crosswalks
  • Bus priority treatments
  • Specific areas for short-term
  • parking, loading & deliveries
  • Removal of median at most locations

Construction to remove the median on Mass Ave between Linnaean Street and Waterhouse Street will begin in early Spring.  Removing the median now will make construction easier and less disruptive for businesses, residents, and visitors. Some additional water work and other improvements will also be made. The design for this area was reviewed by the public in December 2023, and since then there have been no major changes.

What to Expect:

Spring: Public Open House March 26, Spring/Summer: Construction median removal begins, Fall/Winter: Median removal complete
