About the Project
The Massachusetts Department of Transportation (DOT) will fully replace two bridges in the Town of Chelmsford. These include Westford Street over I-495 in Chelmsford and Route 3A (Gorham Street) over I-495 on the Chelmsford/Lowell line.
How Will this Affect You?
As part of demolition work of the Phase I Bridge closures, the project contractor will complete overnight girder removal work at the Gorham Street Bridge area.
This work will require rolling roadblocks, which will briefly impact both northbound and southbound traffic on I-495. The roadblocks will be implemented intermittently for 10-15 minute periods several times throughout each work night. These closures will be in effect so crews can remove girders from the worksite.
Gorham Street Bridge
- Intermittent traffic impacts during work hours from 11 PM and 3 AM nightly at Gorham Street on I-495. This work will begin on Tuesday, August 12 and last for approximately 2 weeks.
The schedule for this major infrastructure project is weather dependent and subject to change without notice.
