Longfellow Repairs Competed In One Direction
BOSTON (WBZ) ― Both lanes of the Longfellow Bridge are again open for Boston-to-Cambridge traffic, and large trucks are again being allowed to cross the bridge in that direction.
State Department of Conservation and Recreation officials say repairs to that side of the bridge have been completed. On June 28, the inside lanes in both directions of the Longfellow were closed, and trucks weighing 20 tons or more were prohibited from the bridge.
Repairs to the Cambridge-to-Boston side of the bridge continue. The inside lane remains closed, and large trucks are still prohibited from crossing the Longfellow in that direction.
Officials say repairs to the Cambridge-to-Boston side should be competed within about three months.
The DCR has spent about $1 million on inspections and $7 million on repairs to the Longfellow in the last year, officials said.
