Town Announced Weekend Detours, Paving Plans

On Friday, June 24th, crews will be paving sidewalks on Turning Mill Rd from Gould St to the Robinson Rd. The road will be open but there may be a partial closure allowing one lane through during periods of the work.

This year's resurfacing program utilizes a few different methods to resurface. Crews from D&R will be milling and paving, as well as reclaiming roads to be repaved. The town also has a contract out to bid for specialized resurfacing. These surface techniques are said to help prolong the life of the current pavement.

Concord Ave., including part of Waltham St. at the intersection with Concord Ave., will be paved overnight on Sunday, June 26 night into Monday and the work will be finished on Tuesday during the day.

According to the town’s home page, the plan is as follows: Crews will begin on Waltham St. at the intersection with Concord Ave. Sunday night, June 26th, at 11 p.m. and work from the intersection down Concord Ave. towards Spring Street. The Concord Ave./Waltham St. intersection will be closed from 11 p.m. - 6 a.m.. Concord Ave. will be closed from Waltham St. to Spring St. from 11 p.m., June 26th to 3:30 p.m. Monday, June 27th as well as from 7 a.m. - 7 p.m. on Tuesday, June 28th.

The plans include installation of a sidewalk along Concord Avenue from Waltham Street to Spring Street. This project involves construction of a 5-foot-wide sidewalk, granite curb, field stone retaining walls and drainage improvements. The culvert carrying Hardy’s Pond Brook will be replaced and the traffic signal at Waltham Street and Concord ave will be upgraded. Current plans are available for viewing at Samuel Hadley Public service building, 201 Bedford Street.
