The Muddy River Restoration Project progresses. Dredging, bridge restoration, habitat improvement, and landscaping work are ongoing throughout Olmsted Park, the Riverway, and Back Bay Fens. At the Justine Mee Liff Park across from the Landmark Center, the focus is on maintaining the newly restored landscape and honoring Olmsted’s original vision for a continuous, meandering Muddy River. At Charlesgate, a new public park is taking shape.
The MMOC oversees this work on behalf of the public and keeps you updated. We welcome your questions and comments.

On Saturday, we implemented a traffic change in order to continue work on the project. This shift will allow us to construct the new left turn roadway from Riverway onto Park Drive North

The weather last several weeks hasn’t been as dry since the last update; however, we have continued to make progress on the project between rain storms.

The weather since the last update has truly cooperated for us and helped the progress along for the project.

The Muddy River Flood Risk Management & Environmental Restoration Phase 1 Construction Project is located in the footprint generally between the Riverway downstream to Avenue Louis Pasteur.

On Saturday, April 25 and 26, another traffic shift to change both vehicular and pedestrian traffic will occur to continue construction of the arch culvert underneath Riverway and to begin construction of a new left turn onto Park Drive from Riverway.

The Jug Handle roadway will be closed to vehicular and pedestrian traffic March 21-22, in order to install piping beneath the roadway as part of the Muddy River Flood Risk Management project, Boston, Massachusetts. Vehicular traffic will be detoured to Avenue Louis Pasteur for those who want to be traveling on Park Drive. (Photo by U.S. Army Corps of Engineers)
