Governor Healey broke ground on the $1.3 billion replacement of Draw One, the 1931 drawbridge carrying every northside Commuter Rail line and the Amtrak Downeaster into North Station, which will grow from four tracks to six.

The world's largest three-day rowing event returns to the Charles River between Boston and Cambridge on 16-18 October 2026, with nearly 12,000 athletes and more than 370,000 spectators expected. Crews race a head course of about three miles against the clock, starting roughly fifteen seconds apart.

The $1.3 billion replacement of North Station's Draw One drawbridge is due to finish in fall 2032, adding two tracks over the Charles River and two station tracks for the northside Commuter Rail and the Amtrak Downeaster.
