August 29, 2025 Traffic Advisory

The City of Boston will implement parking restrictions and street closures to accommodate upcoming events, promoting walking, biking, and public transit use. The Open Newbury Street series, starting July 13, 2025, will make Newbury Street pedestrian-only every Sunday until September 21, 2025, with specific streets designated for parking restrictions. The city plans to keep Arlington, Berkeley, Clarendon, Dartmouth, and Exeter Streets open while closing others like Fairfield and Gloucester Streets. Additionally, the Saint Anthony Feast will take place, leading to street closures in the North End on August 29 and 31, 2025, with processions impacting local traffic. The Boston Transportation Department aims to alleviate congestion from returning college students.

The MBTA recommends round-trip tickets for quicker returns, enhancing the experience for event-goers. For further details on parking and restrictions, residents can visit the city's dedicated webpage. These measures reflect the city's ongoing commitment to manage urban traffic effectively.
