Construction Update - February 24th

During this month, crews will be finishing up the subsurface work and connections, as project management shifts focus to the upcoming road surface and layout work that is anticipated to begin in April.

Visual depictions of the upcoming surface work can be found on the Project Summary and Project Views web pages. This also includes the historical context of the Town Green District.

See the Three-week Look Ahead Schedule (PDF) for anticipated work areas. Traffic priorities are given to emergency vehicles and school buses crossing through the area.

Crew 1: work at 426 BPR driveway and the Center Street parking lot (see photos below for areas)
- areas will be blocked off, look for "business parking" signs for available spots
Crew 2: various locations along Boston Post Road
- completing the secondary utility ductbanks and handholds (underground work)

DRIVE SLOWLY & follow road signs

Access to homes and businesses will always be maintained. This is supported and monitored as "Businesses are Open" is a critical directive given to the project team by the planning committee. Ask for assistance if unsure. Police Detail is on site. Traffic priorities are given to emergency vehicles and school buses crossing through the area.

Parking

If you require access to a business, please ask for assistance if access is unclear.

Pedestrian access to businesses will be maintained.
If you need assistance accessing a business, please ask a police officer or ground crew member.
If crews are working in front or near a retail shop, please look for signs indicating alternative parking areas.

NO PARKING signs will be posted 24-hours in advance of road work. Barrels will be placed in the spaces that will not be available for parking. We ask that you take notice of these signs and refrain from parking in these areas during the posted hours. If the barrels are placed up on the sidewalk, then parking is allowed in the space.

Anticipated Work & Hours

Day work will begin at 7:00 a.m. and generally conclude around 3:00 p.m., though some days may go a bit longer. Anticipate site set up to occur prior to 7:00 a.m.

Refer to the "Three-week Look Ahead" document below for anticipated upcoming work. This document is updated weekly.
