0 Seaport Bridge Closed for Repairs

Posted on by

The Seaport just got harder to get to and from.  Not only are there fewer parking spaces, now there is one less pedestrian walkway from the Financial District to the Seaport.  The ultimate plan is to reopen the bridge to cars and pedestrian traffic, but no date has been given.

A Boston Herald report states “structural conditions and “deterioration beyond repair” prompted the city to close the Old Northern Avenue bridge that serves as a pedestrian link between South Boston’s Seaport District and the Financial District…analysis of the 106-year-old truss bridge’s load capacity by TranSystems, a transportation consultant hired by the city, found 13 floor beams with a “zero-ton rating” in the part of the bridge that was open to pedestrians crossing the Fort Point Channel.”
