When the Franklin St Overpass is closed

One phase of this project will involve closing the Franklin Street bike/ped overpass for repairs. During this time, what alternate routes are available?

You could take the long route shown in yellow. MassDOT recommends the blue route using the stairs and ramp at the end of Mansfield Street.

Unfortunately these stairs and railing are in bad shape, the ramp is too steep for a wheelchair, and the whole thing is impassable in the snow. Some repairs and improvements seem necessary for this to be an adequate route while the Franklin Street Overpass is closed.
