Rockland Street Bridge Closed Permanently to Make Way for Reconstruction

Rockland Street Bridge closed permanently on Friday. How will it affect your commute?

Wellesley Patch has on , primarily because we feel it will create a huge traffic impact to an already traffic-heavy town. Town officials agree.

But is it possible this the blockage of this link from Washington Street to Linden Street will not have as negative an impact as originally thought? The bridge is ailing and in desperate need of rebuilding, and the Police Department said in today’s alert: “Traffic lights in the area will be changed to reflect the new traffic pattern and will be monitored by the Wellesley Police Department.”
