Road Closures, Parking Restrictions to be Implemented Across Boston

The Boston Transportation Department is advising drivers that temporary traffic and parking restrictions will be implemented in Boston this weekend, with some restrictions lasting through Sunday, September 6, due to large volumes of students and others moving into and out of the city.

Many college students across the City of Boston will be moving into dorms and apartments as a new school year rapidly draws near. Heavy traffic delays and crowded roadways should be expected around university campuses, city officials warn.

Moving trucks will not be permitted on Storrow Drive. They will get stuck due to low clearance.

To alleviate traffic congestion, Boston’s Transportation Department has closed several streets and restricted parlaying in several areas.

Here’s a look at all the street closures and parking restrictions:
