Traffic Advisory for March 27, 2025

The Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) has issued a traffic advisory in Boston as a series of events lead to parking restrictions and street closures. Attendees are encouraged to walk, bike, or use public transit to navigate the city during this busy period. Starting March 30, a modified traffic configuration will be implemented at the City Square intersection due to full-depth pavement construction, resulting in lane reductions that may cause delays for outbound drivers through March 31. Concurrently, the MBTA will close the Red Line from JFK/UMass to Ashmont and Mattapan from April 1-9 for critical track renewal work, with shuttle services and commuter rail options available for affected riders. Travelers should budget an additional 60 minutes for their journeys and consider the fare-free commuter rail service.

To ensure smooth travel, parking restrictions will be enforced in several areas to accommodate shuttle movements. For real-time updates, individuals can call 511 or visit MassDOT's website. These changes underscore the importance of planning ahead during peak event times in Boston.
