The article discusses the bridges demolition and replacement project undertaken by the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) in Medford. MassDOT used tweets and other social media techniques in publicizing the project along I-93 and providing traffic alerts to avoid disruption and to complete the bridges in less than three months. Michael McGrath of MassDOT reveals that structural deficiencies were determined during a paving project in 2010.
