2026-11-03

The City of Woburn is advancing preliminary design for a critical pedestrian bridge to connect the Anderson RTC with the New Boston Street corridor , an area targeted for economic development and multimodal growth . The bridge will serve as the backbone of a more walkable , vibrant mixed - use district — reducing car dependency and expanding mobility options for residents and workers . The project supports the City ’ s Master Plan goals and builds on previous planning and coordination with MassDOT , MBTA , and Massport . It aligns with state and regional priorities for housing production , sustainable transportation , and equitable access . Improved pedestrian access is key to unlocking the full benefits of public planning and private investment and catalyzing further mixed - use growth . Advancing design now ensures the City is well - positioned to move to construction as future funding opportunities arise , delivering long - term transportation , housing , and economic benefits .
