Union Ave. Bridge In Framingham Reopens To Two-Way Traffic

FRAMINGHAM, MA — For a limited time only, a Union Avenue bridge north of downtown Framingham will reopen to two-way traffic.

In July, the public works department shut down the southbound lane of the bridge near Mt. Wayte Avenue for repairs. Traffic was detoured to Franklin Street, but northbound lanes remained open.

The city reopened that southbound lane on Thursday night until spring, when construction work on the bridge will resume.

Work on the bridge is part of an $11.3 million overhaul of Union Avenue between the downtown split north to the Main Street intersection near Framingham State University. The project includes new traffic signals, sidewalks, bike lanes and pavement.
