- When will the barracades blocking the right lane on the north washington st bridge be removed. The traffic there is terrible all day long. Rush hour is the worst. What are they doing and for how long will it go on . How about putting your response in the Charlestown bridge news paper. (That is the real name of the newspaper by the way).

Case Noted | We apologize for your inconvenience due to the temporary closure of one of the two outbound lanes into Charlestown on the North Washington Street Bridge. Due to recently identified structural safety concerns, the BPWD had started an emergency repair effort on the Bridge. The required repair is very extensive and therefore also prompted the temporary closure of the outside lane to cordon off the area with many problematic members. Unseen from the surface, these steel repairs has been performed below the bridge deck since the 3rd weekend in November, and is projected to go on at least to the end of February to mid-March 2018. During the winter, it is very challenging and time consuming to perform these repairs. The construction project to replace this bridge has been advertised and the bids are to be opened in January 2018. We are extremely excited about the new bridge project, since it is our mission and utmost goal to provide Bostonian a safe and pleasant travel experience. Thanks for letting us know of your frustrations!
