IMPORTANT news regarding ANDERSON BRIDGE!
CRAB Alert
Please read the note from Mass DOT below regarding changes to the arch closure at Anderson Bridge.  We'll have to do some adjustments through the fall as they plan on Monday, Sept 16 to open Boston and close the center for a week.  On Monday, Sept 23, they plan to open the Center and close Cambridge.  Note the use of the word 'approximately', so please keep your eyes open in case these changes happen a little early, or a little late.

From the Mass DOT: 
MassDOT's contractor plans on switching barrels in the river on Monday, September 16, 2013,  to have the middle barrel closed for approximately one week and the Boston and Cambridge side open.
 
At this time they plan on switching again on Monday, Sept. 23, 2013,  to have the middle barrel and the Boston barrel open and the Cambridge side barrel closed.
