GLX Bridge Work Jan. 19 - Ball Sq.

Beginning in January 2015, necessary repair work will begin
at rail bridges throughout the City to make way for the impending Green Line
Extension project (GLX), which will bring six new rail stops to Somerville.

Starting on Jan. 19 and continuing through May 2015,
construction on the Broadway Bridge in Ball Sq. will require the closure of the
southbound vehicle and bicycle travel lane as well as the sidewalk for
pedestrians in order to construct a temporary utility bridge. Two-way vehicle
travel will still be accommodated, in narrower lanes, during this time and all
users are advised to use caution and to follow posted signage and detours,
particularly during high travel times in the morning and evening.

Work is already underway in Union Sq. for the spur stop and
full Green Line station to be constructed on Prospect St. near the intersection
with Somerville Ave. Additional work sites will include the School St. Bridge, the
Medford St. Bridge in Gilman Sq., and the Broadway Bridge in Ball Sq. near the
intersection with Boston Ave.

A full schedule including work dates, potential impacts, and
other information can always be found at www.somervillema.gov/alerts/detours-and-construction-updates,
or by calling 311. Residents and businesses in these areas will be notified if
and when street closures or other disruptions may be expected. To sign up for
