Conference Directions

Boston - Museum of Science - Blue Wing - Cahners Theater

ROAD CONSTUCTION ON MCGRATH HIGHWAY
MAY AFFECT TRAVEL TIMES
Beginning Saturday, November 6, traffic will be redirected along McGrath/O’Brien Highway in front of the Museum in order for the state to replace the Craigie Drawbridge. If you travel from Route 93, North Station, and Leverett Circle, you can still access the Museum by
turning left into our driveway, although traffic will be reduced to two outgoing lanes from Leverett Circle.

From Cambridge/Somerville/Charlestown, you can enter the driveway as usual, but access to Boston, Storrow Drive, and Route 93 ramps will be blocked. All departing traffic will therefore turn LEFT—and only left—out of the Museum driveway. Your travel time will likely be compromised because we cannot predict traffic flow.

This configuration is expected to last until April 30.

Please plan your arrival and departure times accordingly, and we apologize in advance for any problems arising from this state project.

Department of Transportation advisories and a project description are available at http://www.massdot.state.ma.us/charlesriverbridges/CraigieDamDrawBridge.html.
