    Chapter 3—Existing Conditions: Bowker Overpass

    Massachusetts Turnpike Boston Ramps and Bowker Overpass Study December 2015 Chapter 3—Existing Conditions: Bowker Overpass 3.1 INTRODUCTION This chapter describes the analysis of the Bowker Overpass sub-area of the Massachusetts Turnpike — Boston Ramps Study. As in Chapter 2, which discusses the larger study area, this section summarizes existing transportation conditions during a typical workday, emphasizing the peak-commuting hour. This section also reviews crash data and land use conditions. The Transit Data and Environmental Conditions provided in Chapter 2 apply to the Bowker Overpass sub-area of the study. 3.2 TRAFFIC CONDITIONS Developing a base knowledge of current traffic conditions fosters an understanding of where congestion occurs now and where it likely would occur in the future. The first step in calculating traffic congestion requires using current or recent turning- movement and traffic counts. Traffic counts were obtained along the Massachusetts Turnpike between the Allston Tolls and Ted Williams Tunnel, and at specific intersections throughout the study area. The volumes used in this analysis are presented in Section 3.2.1. Section 3.2.2 summarizes system performance. 3.2.1 Existing (2010) Traffic Volumes The Bowker Overpass delineates the Back Bay and Fenway/Kenmore neighborhoods, and runs roughly along the Muddy Brook between the Emerald Necklace/Back Bay Fens and the Charles River Esplanade. It connects Boylston Street and Fenway with Storrow Drive over the Massachusetts Turnpike, Commonwealth Avenue, and Beacon Street (Figure 3-1). The Bowker is also known as the Charlesgate Overpass, as Charlesgate is the name of the roadway that the overpass carries.

    FRIENDS of the MUDDY RIVER No. 49 Fall 2020

    FRIENDS OF THE MUDDY RIVER No. 49 Fall 2020 A Muddy River Cruise down the Riverway 22. Bellevue Street Bridge 23 Chapel Street Bridge/Bridle Path 24. Round House We ended our Spring cruise down the Muddy River at the North end of Leverett Pond and now will be entering the Riverway section of the Emerald Necklace. Here, there is an extensive, tall granite headwall with a distinctive capstone topping that has a large arched opening. It carries the Muddy River underground for quite some distance and eventually under Boylston Street (Washington Street) where it immediately comes out at a much smaller curved granite headwall and into a 10’ wide cut stone water way. This section of the Muddy River is virtually hidden by a low 15“ wide patterned concrete wall that parallels River Road. On the other side of this small channel, a steep, heavily vegetated slope rises up to the overpass. This is the area of Brookline’s recently improved bike crossing park area. The narrow water course goes underground one more time to allow the on ramp from River Road to enter the outbound lane of the Jamaicaway. The Riverway ends and the Jamaicaway begins at the Curley Overpass. The final outlet is through an identical granite headwall where the Muddy River finally becomes a recognizable, natural flowing stream and parallels Brookline Avenue. Friends of the Muddy River Fall 2020 1 The area of the Curley Overpass is the narrowest point of the Riverway and one of the first significant alterations to accommodate the modern world of vehicular traffic.
