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, as well as the final pavement overlay. Punch list items are expected to be wrapped up this spring. |
Road Resurfacing | A portion of East Main Street is scheduled to be resurfaced this spring with an expected completion by the end of June 2023. The limits will be from the Chicopee-Springfield city line heading westerly to approximately 300ft past the American Legion Bridge. New line striping will provide one lane for eastbound traffic with a left turn lane and provide two lanes westbound. |
| Safety Improvements Project | This project includes improvements to the existing crosswalks along the northerly section of Chicopee St (north of the "Y", the northerly Chicopee St/Meadow St intersection). These locations include Charbonneau Ter/Bolduc Ln and Leslie St. The improvements at each location include a new median/refuge island, accessible ramps with detectable warning panels, new signage, continental crosswalk striping (longitudinal bars), and RRFBs (Rapid Rectangular Flashing Beacons - pedestrian actuated). A new crosswalk on Broadway north of Thornwood St will include accessible ramps with detectable warning strips, new signage, continental crosswalk striping, and RRFBs. Upgrades to crosswalk locations on Broadway near Lincoln Park will also be included in the project. A new traffic island at the corner of Cherryvale Ln and New Ludlow Rd will be constructed. Additional items are currently being evaluated for inclusion in this future project. A projected bid of April 2023 is anticipated with construction to start soon after. |
Fuller Road (MassDOT Project) | The Fuller Road Project is a reconstruction project being run by MassDOT. Reconstruction means the entire cross-section of the road is being redone in order to provide a new road base and three courses of new pavement. The schedule for the Fuller Road project has a completion date of August 2023, but much of the improvement of the road surface occurred in 2022). We appreciate the public’s patience while this large project is constructed. Please seek alternate routes, if possible. |
