GPMETRO Free service over Tukey's Bridge for closure duration

[Gordon Platt]

Wanted to share a small update regarding the Tukey's Bridge closure-  

Unitil has not yet started work on the pipeline project that is set to close the bridge path. 

GP Metro will be offering FREE bus service over the bridge for the duration of Unitil's closure of the Tukey's Bridge multi-use path. This is for three stops: 

1. Washington Avenue at Eastern Promenade (Route 7, 9B)

2. Washington Avenue at Galvin Street (Route 9A)

3. Veranda Street/Sherwood Street IB (Route 7)

Thanks to all who have reached out to the city, state, and Unitil. While this is not a solution that captures all demand for the bridge during out-of-service hours, it will (schedule and message broadcast depending) provide an option for many who otherwise might be adversely affected by this closure.
