Drivers should take care to pay attention to all signage and move carefully through the work zone. Police details, lane markings, temporary barriers, traffic cones, signage, and other tools will be used to control traffic and create safe work zones.

The Boston Harborwalk under the bridge and eastern/harborside bridge sidewalk remain closed until rebuilt.
