612989 Boston- Bridge Preservation, Cambridge Street over MBTA BOSTON Bridge deck replacement of Cambridge Street Bridge with upgraded bicycle and pedestrian accomodations and a westbound bus lane for buses traveling from Sullivan Square to Somerville. Structure is a National Highway System (NHS) bridge despite city ownership with some components dating back to 19th century. The bridge intersects multiple rail lines and Interstate 93. Asset condition as of a December 2021 inspection was fair with 6/10 on deck, 5/10 on superstructure, and 5/10 on substructure, putting it in similar condition to the Mystic Avenue and Maffa Way bridges just north along the same rail alignment. 53.2/100

607981 Somerville- McGrath Boulevard Construction SOMERVILLE The project implements the recommendations of an earlier Grounding McGrath study to replace the McCarthy Viaduct with a 1.5 mile at-grade urban boulevard and more conventional intersection configuration. The project includes improvements for bicycle and pedestrian connectivity between Somerville's neighborhoods, along with transit improvements for the corridor including transit signal priority and queue jump lanes. The provided bike facilities will connect into the Somerville Community Path and intermodal facilities for the East Somerville Green Line Station. 72.2/100 (MAJOR INFRASTRUCTURE, FFYs 2023-27)  DESIGN PUBLIC HEARING (2/13/2024) 2027-30 2027-30 $98,840,000 $98,840,000 N/A FFYs 2023-27 TIP: Project initially funded with $20M in FFY 2027, with expectations set to fund it through 2030. The project had been evaluated for several TIP cycles as early as FFYs 2020-24 (based on available records).
FFYs 2024-28 TIP: To utilize funding surpluses in FFY 2027, the MPO increased the advance construction allocation to the project from $20M to $35M in that year to help offset long term AC costs for future TIP cycles. This would have required only $20M in FFY 2029 and $13.8M in FFY 2030 to fund the project in full.
