The MBTA says the replacement of the North Station Draw One bridge in Boston will have minimal impact on commuters
Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey announced last month that the U.S. Department of Transportation had awarded the MBTA $472 million to fund the replacement of the North Station Draw One bridgeExpected to last around eight years once it gets underway, the MBTA's planned replacement of a key 93-year-old railroad drawbridge over the Charles River will have minimal effects on commuters, state officials promised Thursday.
The draw will be replaced with three vertical lift bridges, and the project also includes a new signals and control tower along with track and signal upgrades, Eng said. Early estimates showed the project taking eight years to complete, but Eng said he was challenging the agency to beat that timeline.
Markey and U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren were on hand to cheer the federal grant along with Boston electeds Rep. Aaron Michlewitz, Sen. Lydia Edwards, and Mayor Michelle Wu.
