Hopkinton's Main Street Repaving Begins

HOPKINTON, MA - The contractor for the Main Street Corridor project will start paving Main Street between the Fire Station and Commonwealth Ave. on Thursday, the town announced Wednesday.

Work hours for paving will be from 7 a.m.-5 p.m. with setup activities being allowed by public safety to begin at 6 a.m.

Expect delays, plan accordingly, and allow for additional time to enter and exit driveways, especially when paving operations are ongoing directly in front of a property. Driveway access will be impacted during the paving, and there will be a waiting period for vehicles to cross the new pavement.

Public safety will be present to direct traffic and vehicle movements. Urgent access across fresh pavement may be allowed in approximately 15 minutes or more. More time is required before vehicles can drive actively over or on the new pavement so, please plan accordingly.

Eastbound traffic will be detoured from Main Street to Pleasant Street, to Maple Street, to Hayden Rowe Street. One lane on Main Street is scheduled to remain open at all times for westbound traffic.

At the end of every workday, both lanes of traffic will be open and the detour will be removed.
Access for emergency vehicles through all work zones will be maintained at all times.
