Comm Ave. Bridge Construction Completed On Schedule

BOSTON (CBS) – Commuters rejoice. The majority of Comm Ave. bridge construction that slowed traffic in recent weeks has been completed.

The bridge reopened on Saturday and the BU bridge followed by opening several hours later. The area has been closed to cars since July 26.

Saturday was the targeted completion date for the project. Last week, all Mass Pike lanes reopened to traffic 24 hours ahead of schedule.

MassDOT officials said minor finishing construction will happen over the next several weeks during off-peak travel times, though travel will still be permitted.
