Gov. Baker Visits Route 3 Bridge Project

BRAINTREE, MA — Gov. Charlie Baker paid a visit to a bridge project in Braintree Thursday morning.

The bridge, located over the Burgin Parkway at the Braintree-Quincy line, is part of the Route 3 bridges project. Baker was joined by Braintree Mayor Joseph Sullivan, Acting Highway Commissioner Jonathan Gulliver, and Secretary of Transportation Stephanie Pollack.

The bridge work is part of a $6.3 million project to replace two bridges on Route 3 in Braintree, just south of the Braintree split. The structures will be replaced in their entirety over the course of two weekends in the fall of 2017. All work is expected to be completed by the end of 2018, according to MassDOT.
