Cambridge is bracing for a weekend of festivities and street closures, starting July 25 with the Salsa Squared Dance Party and followed by Run to Home Base on July 26. The City of Cambridge has announced these events on their website, advising residents and visitors to take note of the changes and plan their travel accordingly.
The Salsa Squared Dance Party will see Brattle Street closed from Eliot St to Church St beginning at 5:00 PM until 11:00 PM on Friday, July 25. Those planning to attend the event or travel through Harvard Square during these times should seek alternative routes. Additional details are available on the city's website.
On the following day, Saturday, July 26, the Run to Home Base race will affect traffic along Massachusetts Ave from Vassar Street to Memorial Drive. The race, starting in Boston and snaking its way through Cambridge, necessitates these street closures from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM. Organizers and city officials urge competitors and spectators to opt for public transport or other commuting options to ease congestion.
Full information on the weekend events and associated traffic impacts is outlined on the City of Cambridge's transportation announcement page, with the city recommending that everyone "follow all posted detour signage, plan ahead, and consider using alternative routes or modes of transportation." For those requiring more information, further details can be gleaned from the event-specific sites accessible via the city's link.
