It's the old Solo cup factory. Use to be where all those red cups used in drinking games were made.

The more you look at the area the less sense it makes to build a bridge. That end of New Boston is narrow and is at grade and would require a lot of land for building approach ramps.newpylong wrote: ↑Tue Aug 20, 2019 7:26 am They are supposed to have 6 spots just off the mainline on the main Industrial Ave spur.The property doesn't look that big.

The bridge provides alternative, parallel routes for traffic going to either I-93 or I-95, better access to Anderson/Woburn, and can help relieve pressure during the eventual I-93/I-95 interchange construction.
