Charlestown Weekend Traffic Advisory

CHARLESTOWN, MA — There are several driving restriction in place over the Halloween weekend already, but we have to add one more: avoid the Sullivan Square Underpass.

In preparation for the impending freeze, the structure is scheduled to be closed to traffic this weekend for maintenance.

Per the City of Boston Public Works Department:

• No traffic will be allowed to use the underpass from 9 p.m. on Friday, October 28, through 6 p.m. on Sunday, October 30.
• The maintenance to be performed is in preparation for the upcoming winter and is intended to improve safety and minimize the incidence of unscheduled traffic interruptions.
• The work to take place includes the replacement of guard rails, the repair of concrete and street lights, and the cleaning of drainage structures that will help to prevent flooding.
• The Sullivan Square Underpass connects Rutherford Avenue with Alford Street and directly effects traffic in both Charlestown and Everett.
• Drivers are encouraged to seek alternate routes away from this area as traffic congestion is expected in the general vicinity.
