Yes, it's true. The Hunter Street Bridge will be closed from Saturday, August 25th, until Saturday, September 1st at midnight. This is in order for the bridge to be waterproofed and paved. One lane will remain open for emergency and transit vehicles only, and foot traffic will be permitted during this time. Should weather be a factor, the estimated dates may have to be adjusted. Other routes into East City include Ashburnham Road and Armour Road.
