If you, as I do, drive the Hoan Bridge with any regularity, you know full well that the road is a mess.
The stretch as you leave the Lake Parkway heading north toward downtown is particularly bad and seemingly has been for years.
Thankfully, that will change over the next eight months, as $7 million in improvements ramp up on this vital connection between the South Shore and downtown.

Of course, this is only a temporary fix. I have expressed support in the past for at least considering options about the long-term term future of the Hoan, and I’m glad to see that a detailed engineering inspection seems to be nearing completion.
I think it’s only right that we have all the facts before deciding if spending potentially hundreds of millions of dollars on redecking is the best course. It mostly likely is, and I would support it if it is, but I want to be sure. This study will provide that certainty.
