Good idea to double check - there's construction everywhere. Also do note that Memorial Drive is closed on Sundays to cars -- if you are driving Google maps does know about this, so it should suggest alternate routes/bridges. Parking on residential streets is free on Sundays in Cambridge, though severely limited in the area, and there are a couple of garages.
If you're taking the T, the Harvard Square red line stop is a few blocks away. best, Phoebe On Sat, Jul 8, 2017 at 3:56 PM, Alan Wu <[email protected]> wrote: > Note that MassDOT has announced construction detours in the Harvard Square > area during July.
