Metro lines to detour until September

Some Metro bus routes on Gorham Street and University Avenue will change starting March 16 because of road construction.  

 

These Metro lines will now be moved onto State Street to accommodate recent construction projects. 

 

The streets affected are University Avenue from Bassett to Park Street, Gorham Street from State to Bassett Street and Broom Street from Johnson to State Street.  

 

Westbound routes 2, 3, 7, 8, 11, 12, 14, 15, 37, 47, 56, 57, 58, 70, 71, 72 and 74 are the lines planning to be detoured. 

 

The detours are expected to last through September.  

 

The construction project is six blocks long and two blocks wide, creating a traffic reduction to one lane on Gorham Street and to two lanes of traffic in the areas of construction on University Avenue.
