The Massachusetts Department of Transportation began replacing two bridges in Chelmsford, including Westford Street over Interstate 495 and Route 3A (Gorham Street) over I-495. On October 8, crews will pour concrete for the new Gorham Street bridge structure, which will cause increased truck traffic and sidewalk closures. Separately, the Greater Boston Food Bank presented a $25,000 Community Investment Grant to Dwelling House of Hope in Lowell.
