What Is Happening? MassDOT will reopen Davol Street Northbound between Route 79 Northbound and Turner Street on or about July 28. Drivers who wish to turn onto Turner Street will now either use Davol Street Northbound or Route 79 Northbound to turn right onto Turner Street. Additionally, on or about July 28, Route 79-Davol Street Southbound at the Veterans' Memorial Bridge ramp will shift into its final configuration. This new configuration shifts Route 79 Southbound to the east before the Route 6 Eastbound (Veterans' Memorial Bridge) ramp. How Will This Affect You? Traffic traveling on Route 79 Northbound will stay to the right and either use Davol Street Northbound or Route 79 Northbound to turn right onto Turner Street. Traffic traveling south on Route 79 Southbound will permanently shift east before the Route 6 Eastbound (Veterans’ Memorial Bridge) ramp. View a map. Anticipated Start Date: July 28, 2025Weather and unexpected circumstances make all construction activities subject to change, but we will do our best to keep you updated.Travel Tips During this construction phase, traffic in impacted areas will remain open. Please take care to pay attention to all signage as it is posted. About the Project Davol Street and Route 79 run along the Taunton Riverfront in Fall River. Currently, access between the neighborhoods and the waterfront is limited and the corridor lacks bicycle accommodations. MassDOT is redesigning the mile-long corridor to improve mobility, connectivity, and safety along and across Route 79 and Davol Street. The corridor will be transformed into a multi-modal urban boulevard, connecting the neighborhoods to the Taunton River while promoting economic growth by creating new development parcels to contribute to economic development.Stay Informed You can find more details about the Route 79-Davol Street Corridor Improvements Project by visiting the project website at https://www.mass.gov/route-79-davol-street-corridor-improvements.
