Bacon Street and Route 135 from Weston Road to the Natick line will be closed July 23 – July 26 as work continues on the Bacon Street Bridge Replacement project.
During the closure, Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) contractors will remove the old Bacon Street railroad bridge and move a new superstructure into place. A signed detour route for Bacon Street and the affected areas of Route 135 will be in place.
Bridge work will begin 8am on Friday, July 23 with the closure of Bacon Street. At 9pm Route 135 will be closed. The areas will remain closed throughout the weekend and until 5am on Monday, July 26.
Drivers are encouraged to avoid the area or seek alternate routes.
