Peabody Central Street Road Work To Resume For Season Tuesday

PEABODY, MA — The $20 million Peabody Central Improvement Project is set to resume next week with work crews mobilizing for the 2025 construction season.

Work is set to begin on Tuesday on the project that begins at the intersection with Walnut Street near Dunkin Donuts and goes through the intersection of Endicott Street and Route 114 at Wilson Square.

The project includes a new road surface, sidewalks and curbs, crosswalks, traffic signals, and modern design amenities. It will improve traffic flow, accessibility, and the safety and quality of
life of countless Peabody residents and business owners.

"Once finished, the new Central Street will be a huge improvement for Peabody and for the
entire region," Peabody Mayor Bettencourt said. "There is still a long way to go however, and a project of this size and scope is bound to cause some headaches and test our patience.

"My office will provide regular construction updates while the Peabody Police provide real-time
traffic information. Police details will reroute traffic when necessary and help keep everyone safe during construction."
