The Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) has scheduled a public meeting at 6 p.m. on Monday, November 17, at the Museum of Science to discuss the planned rehabilitation of the Craigie Dam Bridge and Craigie Drawbridge.

The Craigie bridges carry Route 28 between Cambridge and Boston. The Dam Bridge lies directly under the roadway in Cambridge, adjacent to the Museum of Science parking garage, and carries Cambridge traffic that is heading to or from the Drawbridge. Structural elements on the Dam Bridge, which was built in 1908, will be extensively repaired, and the leaves and mechanisms on the Drawbridge, which was built in 1958, will be replaced. The pedestrian walkway on the southwest side of the bridge (adjacent to the Museum of Science) will be widened to accommodate pedestrians and bicycles.
