Overnight Closure on April 11 and April 12 ~ Carlisle Road Bridge, Rte 225

Submitted by MassDOT

The Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) has announced that the Route 225 Bedford Road Bridge over the Concord River in Bedford/Carlisle will be closed to all vehicular traffic between the hours of 8:00 p.m., and 5:00 a.m., on the evenings of Wednesday, April 11, and Thursday, April 12. These traffic impacts are necessary to allow crews and contractors to safely and effectively remove the asphalt wearing surface on the bridge in preparation for installing a new surface.

Additional future overnight closures, as well as daytime lane closures, will be necessary to allow crews to carry out operations such as concrete deck repairs and installation of the new asphaltic wearing surface. These operations are expected to occur later in April and May and more information will be provided on expected traffic impacts.
