MassDOT will host a public open house at the Josephine Fiorentino Community Center on February 5, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. The open house will feature details regarding the proposed noise barriers planned for construction along Lincoln Street and I-90. Neighbors will have the opportunity to view current barrier plans and details, and to comment on how the barriers will integrate into the neighborhood. Information will be shared regarding the City’s plans to construct a shared use path along Lincoln Street linking to DCR’s Birmingham Parkway bikeway. MassDOT is advancing the work as an Early Action construction project proposed as a part of the ongoing planning for the Allston Multimodal Transportation Project.
How will this affect you?
The Lincoln Street Noise Barrier project consists of installing noise barriers between I-90 and Lincoln Street in Allston. The noise barriers will be built in two segments. From the west, the barrier will extend from the Castle Leaf dispensary building to the Public Storage building, and to the east, it will extend from the toll gantry building area to Franklin Street. The purpose of this open house is to give the public an opportunity to comment on the project and discuss the proposed noise barrier.
