Cuban Culture Shapes a Spring Break Trip

MassDOT began its Commonwealth Avenue Bridge Replacement Project yesterday, shutting down vehicular traffic on the BU Bridge and Comm Ave between Packard’s Corner and Kenmore Square until August 14, and reducing lanes on the I-90/Mass Pike (east and west) today through August 7. Shuttle buses, such as this Peter Pan bus, will replace Green Line trolleys for inbound and outbound T passengers between the Babcock Street and Blandford Street stations. Photo by Jackie Ricciardi
