Boston: January 9, 2026 Traffic Advisory

~ As the construction of the new Holocaust Museum in Downtown Boston continues, residents and visitors are advised to plan their travel accordingly. The disassembly of the tower crane at the construction site will result in road closures and detours on Tremont Street from Friday, January 9 to Sunday, January 11.

According to a press release from Lee Kennedy Builders, the closure of Tremont Street will begin at approximately 9 p.m. on Friday and will stretch from Beacon/School Street to Park Street. To accommodate this closure, vehicles traveling on Cambridge Street towards Boston Common will be detoured onto Beacon Street. Additionally, the one-way direction of Beacon Street will be reversed to allow for vehicles to turn right onto Bowdoin Street or continue straight on Beacon Street. Vehicles traveling up Bromfield Street will be directed onto Province Street to School Street.

The disassembly of the tower crane is not a public event and the project area will be closed to foot traffic for safety reasons. Police control will be posted at key intersections throughout the work area to assist with traffic diversion.
