As I am sure you know, that closed section leads to the new bridge over Route 2 and then to West Concord. While originally scheduled to open this summer, the latest news on Concord's
website is that it has been delayed till November. My understanding is that the bridge is structurally complete but various finish work, including the top layer of asphalt, won't be done till the Fall. Pity!
