Public Meeting | General Edwards Bridge Replacement
April 29 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm EDT
From the City of Lynn Planning Department / MassDOT: The Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) is hosting a Live Virtual Public Information Meeting on Wednesday, April 29 at 7:00PM.
At this meeting, the project team will provide an overview of the project and present the latest design updates. Following the presentation, attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions and provide comments.
How will this affect you?
The General Edwards Drawbridge connects Lynn and Revere by carrying Route 1A over the Saugus River. MassDOT is currently planning the replacement for this 87-year-old structurally deficient drawbridge, with a new fixed bridge that will be constructed just downstream and adjacent to the existing drawbridge.
The new bridge will be built as close to the existing bridge as feasible and will feature longer spans with fewer piers in the water, improving navigation through the channel. The new fixed bridge will also provide greater vertical clearance above high tide and a wider navigation opening, allowing most vessels to pass without interruption while eliminating bridge openings will improve reliability for motorists traveling along Route 1A.
