Boston Bridge Reopens to Pedestrians: Only days after warning people not to use the sidewalks on the Boston Bridge, state highway officials announced that the span has been reopened to pedestrians.

The sidewalks were removed on July 19 while crews replaced the pins that support the bridge trusses, said Jim Struzzi, district spokesman for the state Department of Transportation. The work was completed early and the sidewalks reopened again this week, he said.

The bridge remains closed to vehicles through Sept. 27 as a $17.3 million rehabilitation project continues, Struzzi said.
