TRAFFIC ALERT: Construction In Framingham Coming Up

FRAMINGHAM, MA—Construction on the roads and streets of Framingham continues this week as we move through the fall season (and a warm one, at that).

Here's a report on the streets and roads that will have significant delays during the week of Nov. 4-10. As always, the construction schedules are weather-dependent.

Concord Street: Expect moderate traffic delays as crews perform utility and roadway improvements in areas along Concord Street between Cochituate Road (Rt. 30) and School Street between 7 a.m. and 3 p.m

Crestwood Drive: Expect minor delays as crews perform punchlist items between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m.
Dinsmore Avenue, Pierce Street: Dinsmore Avenue will be closed as crews pave the roadway. Work will take place between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m.

Edgell Road, Grove Street, Belknap Road, Vernon Street: Expect significant delays as a temporary detour will be in place for southbound traffic on a portion of Edgell Road between 8:30 a.m-4:30 p.m. Southbound traffic will be detoured from Edgell road onto Belknap Road to Grove Street, and reconnect to Edgell Road via Vernon Street. Northbound traffic will be permitted.

Due to road restrictions, oversized vehicles and trucks should observe the posted limitations and follow the truck detour route on Belknap Road to Mill Street, continue onto Pleasant Street and reconnect to Edgell Road via Vernon Street.

Police detail officers will be stationed within the work zone and at critical intersections within the detour to assist motorists; school buses will be given priority to ensure safe and timely travel for students.
