DCR Developments

DCRAs DCR is working on the accelerated Bridge restoration program, the Conservancy has weighed in with other non-profits to make sure that the Craigie and BU Bridges also become more user-friendly for pedestrians and bicyclists and provide better access to the parklands. To read more click here.

The Department of Conservation and Recreation will undertake repairs designed to improve safety along Storrow Drive and Soldiers Field Road, and to heighten visitors' experience within the Charles River Reservation. Planned upgrades to the fitness area provide an opportunity for DCR to obtain community suggestions. The DCR is currently soliciting bids for the project.
