The Healey-Driscoll Administration unveiled new design renderings of the replacement Sagamore Bridge as Massachusetts continues making historic investments to replace the aging Cape Cod bridges.

The new renderings showcase key design features, including separate bridge spans to improve safety, a barrier-separated shared-use path for pedestrians and bicyclists, upgraded roadway connections and architectural features that reflect the character of the region, according to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

"For decades, people have talked about replacing the Cape Cod bridges," said Healey. "Our administration is getting it done. These new renderings give people a look at the safer, stronger bridge we're building for residents, businesses and everyone who depends on these crossings every day. We're making historic investments to improve transportation, strengthen the Cape's economy and make it easier and safer for people to get where they need to go."

"These new renderings allow residents, businesses and communities across the region to begin seeing what the future of this vital transportation connection will look like," said Interim Secretary of Transportation and MBTA General Manager Phillip Eng. "Replacing the Cape Cod Bridges is a once-in-a-generation investment in the safety, reliability and economic future of Cape Cod, the Islands and the surrounding region."

The Sagamore and Bourne bridges are more than 90 years old and carry more than 38 million trips each year, serving as critical connections for residents, businesses, visitors and emergency responders.

The new renderings highlight several major improvements, including twin bridge spans carrying one direction of traffic each to improve safety, a barrier-separated shared-use path with a scenic overlook for pedestrians and bicyclists, enhanced lighting and bridge foundations designed to better accommodate marine traffic through the Cape Cod Canal, according to the Commonwealth of Masschusetts.

Construction is expected to begin in spring 2028.
