The Brown Line trains are running again now that repairs to the Wells Street Bridge have been completed. It was quite a project! When I took the train north across the bridge yesterday evening, the river was still crowded with repair barges and equipment. A tour boat plied the waters, carrying its passengers toward an up-close view of the site.

I was/am amazed at how quickly the repair of that bridge went. It was quite an engineering feat……Nice photos!

Yes, I too am amazed, especially when commuting over the new bridge safely. It is a doubledecker bridge, after all. I think I’m right in saying that the road on the lower level remains closed. . . .
