Road Work To Continue Around Wakefield

WAKEFIELD, MA — Road work will continue around Wakefield this week on streets as crews move forward with a series of projects.

The town shared an update on work on Tuesday, warning of intermittent upcoming activity on Sweetser Street, White Avenue, Wake Avenue, Lake Shore Drive and Curve Street.

Work will involve sidewalk reconstruction, instillation of granite curbing, driveway apron reconstruction and the adjustment of utility castings in roadways, as noted by the town.

Final paving is then scheduled to take place on impacted streets in the week of Oct. 31.

Work is separately scheduled this week on Chapman Road, Flanders Road, Kimball Ave, and Bay State Road, where utility castings in the road are due to be adjusted.

Crews will be replacing some sections of underlying pavement before final paving on those roads “in the coming weeks,” according to the town.

All work is weather dependent.

Work on paving projects in Wakefield follows separate construction on Salem Street beginning earlier this week.

Crews closed Salem Street between its intersections with Wharton Park and Lowell Street on Monday to make way for water main work in the area. The road was also closed to traffic traveling westbound from Lowell Street to Eunice Circle.

Wakefield has rolled out a new online tracking tool to follow town Department of Public Works projects.
