Road Work Updates
Special Notices
We will try to keep this site up to date and accurate as possible. Changes to the schedules may occur without notice. Please try to avoid these areas during construction or plan on delays when navigating through the work zones. Paving dates are subject to change due to weather conditions.Current Construction Schedule
| Roadway | Activities and Duration |
|---|---|
| Columba Street | Full depth reconstruction of Columba Street from Laurel Street to Ward Street. Water main replacement has been completed and binder course pavement has been installed as of 9/6/22. Curb work is scheduled to begin in the coming weeks. |
| Fuller Road |
Night paving will begin on Fuller Road starting Thursday, May 26, 2022. The current schedule for the initial paving is as follows:
Thursday 5/26 – 7pm to 5am Tuesday 5/31 – 7pm to 5am Wednesday 6/1 – 7pm to 5am Thursday 6/2 – 7pm to 5am This work will be starting at Memorial Drive, progressing easterly towards Old Fuller Road; including the Sheridan Street intersection. The first two courses (base and intermediate courses) of pavement will be installed to approximately the bottom of the hill east of the Moose Lodge. Please seek alternate routes, if possible.
The Fuller Road project is a full reconstruction of the road, which is being run by the MassDOT. The reconstruction means that the entire cross-section of the road is being re-done; providing a new road base and three courses of new pavement.
The past year (2021) had been predominantly dedicated to moving and improving utilities along the road corridor to make way for the widening and repaving of Fuller Road. Gas mains and utility poles have been relocated. New drainage for the road has been mostly installed. New water main along the entire length of Fuller Road was also installed under this contract. The installation of these items is why there are currently many trench patches along the road.
The schedule for the Fuller Road project has a completion date of August 2023, but much of the improvement of the road surface will occur this calendar year (2022). We appreciate the public’s patience while this large project is constructed. Please seek alternate routes, if possible.
