Comm Ave Bridge Project: BU, Comm Ave Bridges Reopen To Cars

FENWAY, MA — It's time for that collective sigh of relief: The Commonwealth Avenue and BU bridges officially reopened today to all lanes of traffic. And the B line is back, and that even tad ahead of schedule.

Throughout the past two weeks drivers dealt with restricted lanes and subsequent traffic on the Mass Pike backed up for miles. They also had to maneuver detours around Comm Ave in the Brookline and Boston area as crews worked to reconstruct the second half of the aging bridge.

Service along the MBTA Green B Line , between Blandford and Babcock streets, was also interrupted by construction.

If you feel like singing, that's ok: Ding dong the construction's (mostly) done. I've definitely It means for a less frustrating commute on Monday.

Although the bridge has been reopened, there may be some delays during non-peak times as crews finish minor projects, including paving sidewalks and adding pavement markers, according to MassDOT.
