Starting tonight at midnight, the Sumner Tunnel in Boston will be closed for renovations until August 5. This closure will impact traffic flow between East Boston and Logan Airport to downtown Boston, as well as points north.
The tunnel, which is a vital route for many commuters and travelers, will undergo necessary maintenance and improvements during this time. As a result, drivers will need to find alternative routes or modes of transportation to reach their destinations.
This closure is part of a larger project to ensure the safety and efficiency of the Sumner Tunnel for years to come. While the inconvenience may be frustrating, the long-term benefits of these renovations will be worth it.
Travelers and commuters are advised to plan ahead and allow for extra time when navigating through this area during the next month. Additionally, alternative transportation options such as public transit or ridesharing services may be more reliable and convenient during this period.
As always, safety is the top priority for the Massachusetts Department of Transportation, and these renovations are crucial to maintaining the infrastructure that supports the region’s transportation needs.
