WESTBOROUGH – The Fruit Street Bridge, off Flanders Road, has reopened after a two-year rebuilding project.

The state’s Department of Transportation (MassDOT) announced on Dec. 15 that the bridge over the CSX railroad tracks and the Sudbury River opened to traffic early that afternoon.

The bridge closure had been in place since November 2021 to allow construction operations to take place as part of the $12.5-million bridge replacement project.

As construction will still be ongoing, lane closures will be required when work is taking place next construction season to bring the bridge to its final condition by next summer.
