Bridge project to link both sides of street grid at commuter rail station allowing transit oriented development to fill in the area around the station.

NEW BOSTON STREET BRIDGE CONSTRUCTION UNDERWAY

“After years of planning, construction has begun on the new bridge that will connect two sections of New Boston Street. Currently, the two sections of New Boston Street are separated by train tracks. The new bridge will make a much needed connection to improve traffic flow and pedestrian access in the area. The City funded the design work for the Bridge. The $28 million to construct the bridge is being funded through Federal and State funding. Construction of the Bridge began in Spring 2022 and is expected to be completed in 2025.”


“Project Goals:

• Traffic Options
  • increasing alternative route options, improved local connectivity
• Deficient Bike and Ped Accommodations
  • Project will incorporate Complete Streets and Healthy Transportation goals (lane and shoulder widths, sidewalks)
• Lack of Access to Anderson RTC
  • Bridge will provide future access to the Regional Transit Center from New Boston Street
• Safety
  • Discourage unauthorized as-grade crossings across MBTA Right of Way
• Environment
  • Improvements to stormwater quality”

Let's hope the TOD actually materializes. Has Woburn actually zoned the area for it?

Interesting that the New Boston St bridge has accommodations for the NE Resins spur, but the proposed 316 New Boston St is removing the need for that. Maybe they will offer “Upstairs at the Commuter Rail” as a perk…

For anybody else confused about where this is... it's the North side of Anderson, and YES, it is connecting to the parking lot.
