Casey Overpass Repair Schedule and Detour Plans

Hi All:

As I am sure you know, the roadway deck of the Casey Overpass (Route 203) in Boston is in rough shape. We have received many complaints about the potholes and bumpy driving surface over the last several months including 3 in the last 48 hours.


In September D6 maintenance reviewed the issue and began working on a repair plan

In October D6 paving contract for District wide maintenance approved

In Late November bridge engineers approved the re-surfacing plan

Last 2 weeks plan was finalized

Week of 12/12 - patching and resurfacing to commence

The Resurfacing will require MassDOT to close the overpass in both directions for three nights next week.

During this time period, we will be doing a lot of work, much of which will be very noisy. This work is required to prep the roadway for paving which we will do next week as well.
Below is the work plan with hours of operation and the work that will be required for each night. All work is weather dependent.
The detour plan for when the overpass is closed is attached. We will post police details at the closure locations and at also at these two critical intersections, as well as several others highlighted to us by Boston Police :
Washington/South @ New Washington Street
Hyde Park/Washington @ New Washington Street
