The 102-year-old Longfellow Bridge joining Boston and Cambridge (cousins who don't kiss) has been an architectural treasure for decades and now is being restored and improved as part of the state's $3B Accelerated Bridge Program, said Gov. Deval Patrick who officiated at Monday?s groundbreaking. Site prep is underway and construction will start after July 4th on Phase I of the $260M project. Phase I will be completed in early 2012 and phase II by fall 2016, with Jacobs Engineering Group leading the consulting team. The DOT will manage and oversee the design and construction in which historic features will be restored, the structure upgraded and brought into compliance with the ADA.
