An Update: Next Phase Planned for Muddy River Restoration

Hear the latest from the Army Corps, Brookline and Boston!

Tour of Restored Muddy River Oct. 22

Just in case you missed the walking tour of Our Muddy with Mr. Olmsted himself on October, 22, here’s your chance to relive the moment. Parks advocate Gerry Wright speaks to BNN’s Chris Lovett about his surprised delight that the new Justine Mee Liff Park actually lives up to the amazing architectural renderings—and beautifully reflects Olmsted’s original vision (complete with an island for the ducklings!). The tour was hosted by the Emerald Necklace Conservatory.

UPDATED – Final Paving for Muddy River Phase 1 Construction Project to begin on June 7

On Tuesday, June 7, temporary night-time work will begin on the roadways in the immediate area of the project. The work will be the final pavement course installation of the roadways in the project area. In order to not impact vehicular traffic flow during the day, this temporary night-time work is necessary.

Brookline Avenue Southside Sidewalk Detour to take place May 9

There will be an upcoming Avenue Louis Pasteur detour that is necessary for the Muddy River project. This detour is being performed so that we can remove the temporary diversion pipes that were installed about a year ago in the Park Drive roadway, near Avenue Louis Pasteur bridge. Vehicular traffic will be detoured to Boylston Street and Kilmarnock Street for those who want to be traveling on Park Drive.

Loads of trees and other plantings going in!
