Preliminary work began today on the McGrath Highway portion of the Concourse, which will entail a complete overhaul of the road between Southern Artery and Washington Street into a pedestrian-friendly boulevard.

The Quincy Police and our Traffic Department will monitor the project daily, and we are working to minimize disruptions. There will not be any detours through the duration of construction, but lanes will be reduced.

Residents with any questions can call 617-376-1902.

It is great to see real progress on this vital roadway, and I thank everyone who has played a role in getting this long-planned project finally off the ground.
