Longfellow Bridge Construction Project:
Work on the Longfellow Bridge Rehabilitation Project began on July 20, 2013. The bridge configuration will be one lane of traffic from Kendall Square into Boston and no traffic lanes from Boston to Cambridge. Cambridge bound traffic will be detoured onto Storrow Drive. Bicycle, Red Line and pedestrian traffic will be allowed over the bridge in both directions. The project is estimated to be completed in September 2016. A map of the depour Route is attached. Further informaiton is available at the project website: http://www.massdot.state.ma.us/charlesriverbridges/LongfellowBridge.aspx

For alternative transportation, you might consider parking at the Braintree or Quincy MBTA Stations to take the Red Line train directly to the Kendall Station at MIT. To check for locations and other information go to http://www.mbta.com/.
