Nightly Eastbound Closures Begin on Storrow Drive Through August

The work begins a longer tunnel rehabilitation focused on concrete repairs to extend service life.

Overview

  • The closures, which start Monday, run nightly from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. through August, including weekends.
  • Only the inbound side is affected from North Harvard Street to Mugar Way, and the outbound lanes remain open.
  • Drivers will detour over the Anderson Bridge to Memorial Drive in Cambridge and return to Boston via the Longfellow Bridge.
  • MassDOT is repairing concrete in the Storrow Drive Tunnel as the first phase of a two-stage project that serves about 50,000 daily drivers.
  • Officials may shift hours or nights to limit conflict with major events or bad weather, and some inbound Soldiers Field Road lanes are included.
