General / Bridges / Construction
Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) will conduct bridge demolition and replacement operations on the Route 6 Bridges over the Weweantic River in Marion and Wareham, MA. Beginning May 1, 2026 through September 10, 2028, multiple work boats, barges, cranes, and support equipment will be operating in the vicinity of the bridges. Construction activities may occur within multiple spans and channels; however, a navigable channel will remain open at all times. Construction equipment, including barges, cofferdams, and work platforms, will be present within and adjacent to the navigable channel. Short-term channel restrictions may occur during active construction operations, including pile driving, sheeting, and erection activities, and will be limited to periods when such operations are in progress. Mariners are advised to exercise caution and reduce wake when transiting the area. Mariners with questions or concerns may contact the contractor via VHF-FM Channels 13/16 or call Don Smith (413) 262-3687 or Jay Krutiak (413) 770-1723.
