Muddy River FRM project work to cause temporary road closure October 5 on Netherlands Road

USACE, New England District
Published Sept. 30, 2021

 The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New England District announced today an upcoming temporary road closure on Netherlands Road as dredging activities continue to progress on Phase 2 of the $36.5 million Muddy River Flood Risk Management project in Boston and Brookline, Massachusetts.  

The temporary road closure will take place on Oct. 5, 2021, at Work Areas #3 and #4 on Netherlands Road in the vicinity of Brookline Avenue and Riverway (near Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital). Appropriate signage will be placed on the outbound side at Riverway, and at Brookline Ave. The temporary road closure will take place between 7 a.m. and 3 p.m. and last approximately two hours.   

The temporary road closure is necessary to offload trees and shrubs into Work Areas #3 and #4 to continue the restoration and planting work during this Fall planting window.

A Police detail will be on-site to safely guide traffic around the vehicles off-loading the plant materials. The road closure will be limited to the greatest extent possible to minimize impacts to the public.
