West Squantum Street Bridge Ramp in Quincy to Be Closed Until October
MassDOT will close the Newport Avenue Northbound On Ramp from West Squantum Street in Quincy beginning Saturday, August 7th at 8:00 PM. The closure will be in effect through mid October. The Newport Avenue Northbound Off Ramp to West Squantum Street, which was closed in April, will remain closed and the section of West Squantum Street between Holmes Street and Arlington Street will continue to be reduced to a single lane in each direction to allow for bridge reconstruction work.
Drivers traveling Westbound on West Squantum Street destined to Newport Avenue Northbound will be detoured over the bridge and then turn left onto Fayette Street and then left onto Holbrook Road, connecting to Newport Avenue via a signalized intersection.
Drivers traveling Eastbound on West Squantum Street destined to Newport Avenue Northbound will continue to be detoured via a right turn onto Fayette Street and a left turn onto Holbrook Road, connecting to Newport Avenue via a signalized intersection.
The work area will result in the closure of the sidewalk located on the north side of the bridge. Pedestrians will be directed to the existing sidewalk located on the south side of the bridge via crosswalks located east and west of the bridge.
This project is part of MassDOT’s Accelerated Bridge Program. The work is entering the third and final phase of construction. The overall project is expected to be completed in October.
MassDOT encourages drivers to allow extra time for their trips and to reduce speed and use caution when travelling through the work zone.
