Massport has put out to bid a $22.5 million construction contract for the new Thomas J. Butler freight corridor that would take Conley Container Terminal truck traffic off of South Boston's residential East First Street.
The project, which has a total cost of $70 million including land acquisitions, will create a 3,100-foot bypass road for the 900 daily truck trips in and out of the waterfront cargo terminal.
"This is a longtime project that we've been working with the community on," said Sam Sleiman, Massport director of capital programs and environmental affairs. "This is for the bulk of the construction work."
Terminal-bound trucks now travel down Summer Street in South Boston and take a left onto East First Street. When the new road is completed, trucks will instead take a left directly off Summer Street — about 275 feet south of the Summer Street bridge near the Exelon power plant — onto a new 475-foot bridge over the Boston Harbor Reserved Channel.
The contract also will cover work on a new 4.4-acre public green space designed as a buffer between the terminal and East First Street. The park also will bear the name of Butler, the late former Massport director of government and community affairs and South Boston native.
