Hello:
I'm sure, that I'm not the first to report this. Sorry if I am. I noticed a new electronic sign at the intersection of 3rd St. & Broadway. It tells drivers that the drawbridge ahead is up. The problem is that the sign is incorrect. The only bridge "ahead" is the bridge that connects Pearl St. Chelsea with Meridian St. East Boston.
The sign says "Chelsea St. Bridge." That bridge is nowhere near this sign. I understand the thought process in putting up this sign and it's a great idea. Why is it wrong? Please replace the printed message board on the front. Whoever, put it in didn't consider that it's message is going to drivers who need to know about an entirely different bridge.
Thank You.

MassDOT does have one other sign in Chelsea. It is on Williams just before Spruce to give drivers the option to divert to the Tobin Bridge. A sign on Williams any further toward the bridge would really be too late for cars to divert to the bridge. That is why MassDOT choose the Spruce St. location.
Also, I did confer with MassDOT because I saw the sign flashing today. MassDOT is testing the system in advance of implementation. So, you may see sign flash in next week or so as part of that testing.
