Please be advised that a traffic plan change that was in effect earlier this summer has been been changed to its final configuration, effecting as of August 30th.
East Street will be re-opened as a one-way street from Cambridge Crossing at Glassworks Ave to Monsignor O’Brien Highway; traffic can turn right from Glassworks Ave onto East Street. North First Street from Monsignor O’Brien Highway into the Cambridge Crossing will continue to be two-way. The newly established First Street extension, which connects traffic from Cambridge Crossing through Monsignor O’Brien Highway to Cambridge Street, will now be a two-way road. Traffic on Monsignor O’Brien Highway will now be able to take a left onto the reopened section of Cambridge Street at the Cambridge and East Street intersection. Therefore, traffic will no longer be able to take a left onto the North First Street Extension from Monsignor O’Brien Highway.
New crosswalks and sidewalks will be open for pedestrian traffic from the Cambridge Crossing development to Cambridge Street through a section of the old Lechmere Station site. Intermittent crosswalk closures and detours will be in place for activities continuing into the fall. Please view the graphic below for additional information. Police details and detour signage will be in place to direct motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians.
Construction resulting in some lane closures will continue in select areas, including the middle of Monsignor O’Brien Highway to build a median, on the Cambridge Crossing side of Monsignor O’Brien Highway, and the outbound lane on Cambridge Street. Work areas are outlined in the graphic below.
