Danvers Street To Close For 2 Weeks For 128 Maple Project Work

DANVERS, MA — Danvers residents and visitors who utilize Hobart Street will face substantial detours over the next two weeks because of the 128 Maple Development project.

The street will be closed to through traffic 24 hours a day starting on Monday and continuing through Nov. 20. The two-week closure will allow for contract work to be completed on the project except for landscaping items, pavement finishing and traffic markings.

When the street reopens on Nov. 20 traffic will resume using the North Putnam Street detour from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The Danvers Department of Public Works said North Putnam Street residents will have access to their street via signed detour routes. Emergency vehicles will also have access to these streets for the duration of the 15-day closure.

Danvers police will be on-site to help with traffic flow with barricades and fencing in place for the duration of the full closure.

Those with questions can contact Field Project Manager Ethan Paul at 603-581-5732 or Danvers Town Engineer Stephen King at 978-777-2668.
