St. Mark's noise wall project to block Boylston Ave E

SDOT says to be ready for a two-week closure of Boylston Ave E near I5 starting March 2nd. Fortunately, they're only closing down the northbound lane so the route used by much of northern Capitol Hill when exiting southbound I5 will remain open. Given that, it appears to be a relatively painless two-week closure. It does, however, further drive the wedge between St. Mark's and Eastlake. Unity.

Crews have made steady progress on building the noise walls

You might notice crews gearing up for panel installation scheduled for next week on Wall D along Boylston Avenue E. In addition to Wall D, crews have been busy with the other two noise walls. Here is the latest information on the project.

Northbound Boylston Ave E to close during Wall D panel installation

Once we begin installing panels for Wall D, currently scheduled for Monday, Mar. 2, we will need to close part of northbound Boylston Avenue E. fromE. Newton Street to E. Boston Street around the clock for approximately two weeks. The height of the panels requires us to use larger than normal bracing equipment. Due to its size, the equipment will extend into Boylston Avenue E. to provide the support needed to install the panels. The southbound lane of Boylston Avenue E. will remain open during construction.

We have outlined a detour to help drivers navigate the closure. You can also find the latest information on project related closures online.
