Charlie Baker said his administration would pursue federal grant funding. The source of the state’s funds is not clear yet, but Gov. The Massachusetts Gaming Commission is providing $650,000 to finish the design and permitting of the project and the Baker administration pledged to pay the $35 million construction cost, which includes a new access point to Assembly Station. Currently, the closest subway stop is Sullivan on the Orange Line.

It will also incorporate the casino into the entertainment offerings of Assembly Square and allow casino patrons to ride public transit to within a fairly short walk of the facility. The new bridge will connect the two municipalities and link a number of regional bike paths. THE BAKER ADMINISTRATION committed on Friday to build a bicycle and pedestrian bridge crossing the Mystic River and connecting Assembly Station on the Orange Line in Somerville to the grounds of the Encore Boston Harbor casino in Everett.
