Massachusetts advances Draw One Bridge Replacement Project
On March 9, 2026, Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey said the state will take the next step in delivering the North Station Draw One Bridge Replacement Project, modernizing the connection between Boston and Cambridge. Supported by a $472.3 million federal grant, which is the largest federal infrastructure award in MBTA history, the project modernizes the rail connection serving the MBTA Commuter Rail and Amtrak’s Downeaster Service.
“Replacing the Draw One Bridge is one of the most important rail infrastructure projects in Massachusetts history,” said Gov. Healey. “This project represents the kind of investments we are making in Massachusetts-creating thousands of good jobs while rebuilding critical infrastructure that keeps our economy and transportation network moving. This agreement will help ensure this project is completely safe, on time and on budget. We’re proud to stand with our partners in labor to deliver this for the people of Massachusetts.”
