The estimated $260 million investment in rebuilding the Longfellow Bridge begins this year with a $20 million early action contract to include preparatory work, with the full reconstruction expected to begin in fall 2011. The Longfellow project is the largest of several investments totaling more than $300 million in rebuilding the bridges along the Charles River Basin, including the BU Bridge, Craigie Drawbridge, and the Western Avenue, River Street, and Anderson Memorial Bridges. "There may be no greater symbol of the neglect our roads and bridges suffered under previous administrations than the Longfellow Bridge," said Governor Patrick.

Chief Engineer Massachusetts Highway Department 10 Park Plaza Boston, MA 02116 June 7, 2006 Re: Restoration of the Longfellow Bridge/Charles River EOEA #13777 MHD Project File No. 604361 Dear Secretary Pritchard and Mr. Blundo: WalkBoston appreciates the opportunity to comment on this project during the early phases of project design, and also appreciates the time and in depth information and conversation that your staff and consultants provided at the Beacon Hill Civic Association meeting that I attended last week. We are also pleased that your approach to the bridge design is carefully considering the needs of pedestrians, bicycles (including bike lanes) and universal access in addition to the needs of vehicular traffic and the MBTA. We realize that the constraints of historic preservation and impacts to adjacent parkland mean that the designs must juggle many issues in a very tight space. Our comments primarily address issues that were not yet incorporated into the plans that were presented at the meeting. When the comments were brought up at the meeting, the MHD and DCR staff and consultants all expressed a willingness to include these items in the next rounds of planning and design for the project. We look forward to their inclusion in the ENF that we understand is to be filed later this summer. 1. Information about traffic, pedestrian and bicycle volumes on the bridge, with estimates of future volumes based on enhanced bicycle and pedestrian conditions and connections to/from city streets and Charles River parkland.

    LONGFELLOW BRIDGE HISTORIC REHABILITATION Abstract The Longfellow Bridge is a well-known Boston and Cambridge landmark. The structure, which carries both roadway traffic and rail, has recently been rehabilitated through a $305 million Design-Build Contract. Built in 1907, the bridge has become an emblem for the Commonwealth. The Rehabilitation of the Longfellow Bridge set out not only to re-establish the functionality of a critical piece of Massachusetts infrastructure, but also to preserve the original bridge aesthetic appearance. The paper below provides a brief overview of the project and a description of the steel detailing and fit up challenges which involved the installation of over 200,000 new pieces of steel.
