The Arthur Fiedler Footbridge, the pedestrian bridge linking David G Mugar Way to the Esplanade, will begin undergoing renovations this month. Renovations will include structural repairs and repainting the footbridge, and will involve closure of the footbridge from mid-May through the end of August.

In upcoming weeks, The Esplanade Association’s partners at the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation will be releasing press advisories and announcements regarding the renovations and how they will impact the neighborhood’s access to the park.

For those who frequently use the Fiedler Footbridge, the two nearest points of access to the Esplanade once the Fiedler Footbridge closes for renovations will be the Frances Appleton Footbridge and the Dartmouth Street Footbridge. Follow the Esplanade Association on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook for the latest updates on this project.
