Community Content
The Massachusetts Department of Transportation will host a virtual public information meeting for the Acceler-8 Interstate 90 Bridge Replacements Project at 6 p.m. Feb. 9 via Zoom.
The virtual meeting will include a presentation and discussion on the project that seeks to replace eight bridges located on I-90 eastbound and westbound over Flanders Road, Parkerville Road, Cordaville Road and Woodland Road. The preparatory work for the project in Westborough and Southborough will begin in February, and bridge construction operations will be conducted over eight weekends between June and August.
MassDOT is using a rapid bridge replacement approach to minimize disruptions. This approach will reduce the duration of the project from potentially three years using traditional construction methods to approximately one year. In advance of the eight weekends, preparatory work will be performed on I-90

‘Incredibly bittersweet,’ Gov. Charlie Baker says of MassDOT Secretary Stephanie Pollack being tapped for role in Biden administration
Updated Jan 21, 2021;
As the top transportation official in Massachusetts prepares to leave for a position in the Biden administration, Gov. Charlie Baker called the moment “incredibly bittersweet.”
Speaking with reporters Thursday, Baker spoke of his relationship with MassDOT Secretary and CEO Stephanie Pollack, who was named the deputy administrator of the Federal Highway Administration for the Biden-Harris Administration hours earlier.
Prior to Pollack joining the Massachusetts Department of Transportation, Baker said the two did not know one another. Her interview was scheduled on the recommendation of another and neither thought the appointment would work, the Republican governor said of Pollack, a Democrat.
