  • MBTA to run buses on part of Rockport line most weekends this winter

    [ad_1]

    BOSTON — MBTA commuter rail trains will not service North Station most weekends between Jan. 1 and the end of April, with shuttle buses set to run between Swampscott and North Station on the Newburyport/Rockport line, officials said.

    Trains will continue to travel between Rockport and Swampscott, and between Newburyport and Swampscott, said Keolis Commuter Services, the company that operates the commuter rail for the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority.

  • Tech curbing wrong-way driving

    [ad_1]

    Tarr’s visit to the Connecticut Department of Transportation’s Highway Operations Center in Newington to see a potential technological solution to the problem comes after a driver is accused of heading north on Route 128 south on the A. Piatt Andrew Bridge and colliding with a car carrying four young adult Gloucester residents.

  • City makes improvements to Sally Milligan Park

    City makes improvements to Sally Milligan Park

    [ad_1]

    BEVERLY — The city’s Open Space and Recreation Committee announced that it has completed improvements to Sally Milligan Park, including a new trail, footbridge and wayfinding signage.

    The new trail leads from behind the soccer field on Cross Lane, enabling visitors to access land north and west of the field and the Mackerel River. Parking is available at the Cross Lane soccer field.

    The new trail was originally proposed in the fall of 2019 in accordance with the 2002 Sally Milligan Implementation Plan. The trail was approved by the Open Space and Recreation Committee in 2021. In 2022, the city received a MassTrails grant to construct a bridge over the Mackerel River, install a new map kiosk for the Cross Lane soccer fields, and update maps depicting the new trail.

    The trail and the bridge were completed in June 2023. The new kiosk and maps were installed in December 2023 and bike racks were installed in September 2024.

    Sally Milligan Park was a gift to the citizens of Beverly from Hugh Taylor Birch, who gave the original 31 acres to the city in 1933 as a memorial to his mother, Sally Milligan Birch. In 1999, the city purchased an additional 15 acres from the Santin family with assistance from the state and the Essex County Greenbelt Association.

    The city added again to Sally Milligan in 2002 with the purchase of the 37-acre former Hill Estate. For more information on the park visit www.beverlyma.gov/DocumentCenter/View/940/2019-Sally-Milligan-Trail-Map-PDF.

  • Plum Island drawbridge work resumes

    Plum Island drawbridge work resumes

    [ad_1]

    NEWBURY — Repairs to the Plum Island Turnpike drawbridge resumed Thursday, reducing the only way on or off the island to one lane – a traffic pattern that is expected to remain for roughly two months, according to town officials.

    As a result, the Massachusetts Department of Transportation will employ a temporary alternating traffic pattern on the bridge as crews complete structural steel repairs. Work is scheduled to take place from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. until mid-December but crews may work around the clock if necessary.

    In a statement, Newbury police Chief Patty Fisher called the repairs “necessary” and said she is pleased work is taking place when it will have the least possible impact on Plum Island traffic.

    “I appreciate that it’s expected to be completed before the first snowfall,” Fisher said. “It goes without saying that people traveling through the single lane should use caution and abide by the traffic signals and speed. Be mindful that pedestrian and vehicle traffic are sharing the lane.”

    While temporary traffic control signals and barriers are in place, a 24/7 signal-controlled, alternating traffic pattern will be used as work is performed beneath the bridge deck.

    Signs and police details will also be used to guide drivers through the work zone. Drivers traveling through the work zone should expect delays, reduce their speed and use caution as the eastbound/westbound traffic patterns are subject to change, according to MassDOT.

    Fisher said workers will be often stationed under the bridge.

    “Just because you can’t see them, doesn’t mean they aren’t there,” Fisher said.

    The work is being completed as part of a $7.7 million districtwide drawbridge operations and repair contract.

    In March, MassDOT noted some deterioration in the steel along with some heaving of a limited portion of the bridge deck. MassDOT worked with the U.S. Coast Guard to implement a detour to keep the bridge closed to marine traffic until the interim repairs were performed, according to a MassDOT spokesperson.

    That prompted MassDOT officials to devise a plan to shift motorists away from the center of the bridge where deterioration was discovered so that the interim repairs could be made. The temporary traffic plan was implemented April 19 right before those repairs began.

    An April 19 advisory from MassDOT stated the drawbridge would not be open to marine vessels through Aug. 5 to allow for repairs to the road surface. The speed limit on the bridge was reduced and traffic was periodically limited to one lane to allow the state to restore the bridge to full capacity. Because one lane will remain open at all times, Newbury first responders will not be stationed on the island during construction, according to Fisher.

    “We only station responders there if we anticipate the turnpike will flood or they’re opening the bridge,” the police chief said.

    Fisher encourages residents to sign up for the town’s CodeRed rapid response notification system and to follow the Newbury Police Department on Facebook for the latest project information and for important messages throughout the year.

  • Man struck, killed by train

    Man struck, killed by train

    [ad_1]

    BEVERLY — A man was struck and killed by a train in Beverly on Wednesday night, marking the second North Shore train death in 10 days.

    MBTA Transit Police said the man was “intentionally trespassing” on the right of way when he was struck by an MBTA Commuter Rail train near Prides Crossing at about 8:25 p.m. The train was an inbound train on the Gloucester branch.

    Transit Police said the man was pronounced dead as a result of his injuries. The agency said foul play is not suspected.

    “On behalf of the TDP and the entire MBTA organization we express our sincere condolences to the decedent’s family and friends,” Transit Police Superintendent Richard Sullivan said.

    The incident happened just 10 days after a Beverly man was struck by a commuter train on tracks on the Salem-Beverly line.

    The Essex District Attorney’s office identified the man, Christopher Thigpen, who died July 21 after being struck about noon by a southbound rail train as he walked across the bridge between Beverly and Salem.

  • Advocates renew push for congestion pricing

    Advocates renew push for congestion pricing

    [ad_1]

    BOSTON — Transit advocates are renewing a push for congestion pricing along the state’s toll roads with new polling data suggesting support for the move among voters.

    A MassINC poll released this week found that voters are getting squeezed by a double whammy of housing costs and transportation issues that have some considering leaving the state. Majorities of those polled said they are getting squeezed by both housing – 71% – and transportation costs at 57% with a shocking 38% saying they will move out of state, according to the poll.

    But pollsters said 50% of those who responded to the survey want the state to study initiatives such as congestion pricing, where tolls are lowered during off-peak times and raised during rush hour to encourage drivers to use public transportation.

    Transit advocates jumped on the poll’s findings to argue that voters want the state to revisit congestion tolling in the greater Boston region to reduce traffic congestion and tailpipe pollution.

    “With a dire budget shortfall when it comes to transportation, we need a mix of solutions and funding sources to ensure our system works for everyone – and isn’t a crushing financial burden for people across our state,” said Reggie Ramos, executive director of Transportation for Massachusetts.

    “Congestion pricing should definitely be on the table as one of those solutions we need to explore,” he said.

    Massachusetts has a backlog of maintenance on roads and bridges estimated at $50 billion — a figure compounded by a decline in federal highway dollars.

    Currently, the state only charges drivers on the Tobin Bridge, at two tunnels beneath Boston Harbor and along the Massachusetts Turnpike, which converted to all electronic-tolling several years ago.

    Beacon Hill leaders have resisted adding more toll roads to the mix, or increasing fees, fearing public backlash over the pocketbook impact on constituents.

    Congestion pricing has also been controversial in other states, including New York, where Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul recently put the brakes on a “first-in-the-nation” plan that called for charging motorists an extra $15 to drive into New York City.

    Backers of the plan, including New York City Mayor Eric Adams, argued the move would reduce traffic, congestion and tailpipe pollution while raising billions of dollars to support the city’s public transit system.

    But the plan was facing several legal challenges, including one by New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy, who called the new toll charges a “cash grab” that would hurt New Jersey commuters.

  • Repairs on I-95 Lowell Street bridge to affect rail trail

    Repairs on I-95 Lowell Street bridge to affect rail trail

    [ad_1]

    PEABODY — A stretch of the Peabody Independence Greenway will see temporary traffic controls put up around Lowell Street near Interstate 95 beginning Monday, July 8.

    Bridge substructure repair work on the I-95 bridge over Lowell Street will take place between 7 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Mondays through Fridays until the repairs are completed, the Massachusetts Department of Transportation said in a statement.

    Traffic on I-95 should not be impacted by the work.

    The shared use path on the Kristen Crowley Spur Trail, a 3/4-mile stretch of the greenway, will have a reduced width for pedestrians while work is underway, but it will remain open. Signage will guide pedestrians through that section of the trail for the duration of the project.

    Drivers on Lowell Street should reduce speed and use caution, MassDOT said. Fencing repairs on the underside of the bridge will require short-term night work on Lowell Street.

    More work to rehabilitate the bridge’s joints and to repaint the structure will take place at a later date, MassDOT said.

  • DPW crews make quick work shutting off major water break

    DPW crews make quick work shutting off major water break

    [ad_1]

    Gloucester public works crews made quick work stemming the flow and repairing a major water main break on Maplewood Avenue, not far from the intersection with Poplar Street near the Babson Reservoir and the Babson Water Treatment Facility Monday night.

    DPW Director Mike Hale said a video he was sent around the time of the break showed water gushing out of the street with police blocking off the area to traffic just before the underpass of Route 128. Traffic had been detoured away from the area during the water work.

    By 7:56 p.m., he said, crews had pretty much stopped the water from flowing. Within six hours overnight, he said, crews were able to repair the break. Some further cleanup of the street was required on Tuesday. He said despite the large hole that was opened in the roadway by the force of the water, the roadway was reopened overnight.

    The DPW put out a statement that said if residents were experiencing brown water, they should run the cold water tap for 10 minutes to flush out the lines.

    If problems persist, the DPW says to call 978-325-5600 so the department can send a crew out to do some spot flushing.

    Hale said the 16-inch water main did not fail, but hardware holding a fitting in place “at the old line stop” from maintenance done several decades ago did. However, the prior work to install a valve allowed crews to isolate where the water was shut off to the immediate area. Hale said the entire city felt the drop in pressure, but crews were able to shut valves and isolate the interruption in water service.
