QUINCY – A pair of Quincy roads are set to be named for two military generals with strong ties to the city as part of a new bridge and park project underway downtown.
City councilors Monday night voted to name two new roads being constructed as part of the project General McConville Way and General Joseph F. Dunford Drive. In the theme of the bridge and the park, we found it appropriate to honor two of the more modern day generals, Mayor Thomas Koch said. It kind of has a nice touch to it. Both of them were sons of veterans and came from pretty amazing local families.
QUINCY The long-awaited Generals Bridge downtown is behind schedule thanks to pandemic-related construction delays and unexpected challenges in soil and asbestos abatement work.
The bridge is starting to take shape and will open to the public roughly two months after a dedication ceremony this September. The ceremony was originally scheduled for May, but was delayed due to COVID-related gathering restrictions.
The Massachusetts Department of Transportation says the bridge is now expected to be finished Nov. 10, months after its original May 3 estimate. The demolition of the Revel Building at 79 Parkingway St. was delayed, which impacted the excavation and construction of the north retaining wall on the access road to the bridge, a spokesperson for the agency said.
