Full closure of Fruit Street bridge starts Feb. 7, will last about 1 year

by | Jan 21, 2022 | Featured: News, News

The Massachusetts Department of Transportation announced Friday that the Fruit Street bridge over the MBTA/CSX Railroad and the Sudbury River in Hopkinton and Westborough will close at 7 a.m. on Monday, Feb. 7. The bridge is expected to remain closed until the spring of 2023 in order to facilitate bridge construction operations as part of the $12.5 million bridge replacement project.

During the work, traffic will be directed to follow detour signage, using Route 9 and Route 135 for access.

Drivers who are traveling through the affected areas should expect delays, reduce speed and use caution.

    The State spent millions removing toll booths from the Massachusetts Turnpike to improve traffic and IT DID NOT. You have to be blind if you can’t see that. I hope these millions are better spent.
