Construction Update

Project Advisory: Modified Traffic Configuration at Keany Square Intersection in North End

What is Happening?

The Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) is announcing a re-aligned traffic configuration at the Keany Square intersection as crews on the North Washington Street/Bill Russell Bridge continue the next stage of full-depth construction and paving operations at the intersection of Causeway Street and Commercial Street. This is Stage 2 of 3 expected stages to complete this work. Stage 2 work is currently in place, and will remain in place through approximately Friday, April 18. 

 How Will This Affect You?

The inbound/ southbound traffic lanes coming from the North Washington Street Bridge/ Bill Russell leading into the Keany Square intersection will be re-aligned to a straighter alignment and entrance to the intersection. The outbound/northbound traffic lanes leading away from Keany Square will maintain the single-lane alignment but re-aligned slightly to the middle of bridge to accommodate the construction of the concrete traffic barriers.

Minimal traffic impacts are anticipated for this Stage 2 full-depth construction work. All scheduled work is weather dependent and subject to change without notice.

 Travel Tips

Appropriate signage, law enforcement details, and advanced message boards will be in place to guide drivers through the work area.
