Starting Monday, March 18, the Massachusetts Department of Transportation will be holding public information meetings for the Tobin Bridge/Chelsea Curves Rehabilitation Project.

These meetings will give residents of Chelsea and adjoining communities an opportunity to become fully acquainted with the construction phase of the Chelsea Viaduct Project (set to begin in spring 2019) and will focus on both the construction phasing and project timeline.

MassDOT will present and address specific comments from residents, community groups and the city’s government. Attendees will also get an overview of 2019 construction on the adjoining Tobin Bridge rehabilitation and ways in which MassDOT is coordinating these two projects.

The Chelsea Viaduct carries Route 1 north and southbound over Chelsea between County Road and the Tobin Bridge. The viaduct was constructed between 1956 and 1957, and while safe to traverse, it is structurally deficient with many of its components in severely deteriorated conditions. The structure carries approximately 63,000 vehicles per day including MBTA routes 426 and 428. The construction work will repair the supports of the viaduct and replace the structure’s roadway deck.

To be added to the project email list, please contact Donny Dailey, Office of Public Affairs, at 857-368-8902 or by email. The Chelsea City Hall is ADA accessible.
