Washington Street Reconstruction Set For Next Week

The reconstruction of Washington Street is scheduled to begin July 23 from Wellesley Avenue to Morton Street and from Route 9 to Glen Road. The work to be accomplished includes the following: replacement of sidewalk panels and ramps, removal and replacement of damaged crosswalks, milling and overlaying pavement, signage, pavement markings and other incidental work. The work will be accomplished by P.J. Keating Company and their subcontractors, under the direction of the Wellesley Department of Public Works. The work is scheduled to be completed in October.

Work will take place Monday through Friday between the hours of 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. Police details will be on-site during the project construction to minimize impacts to traffic, parking, and other roadway functions. A minimum of one lane of traffic in each direction will be maintained throughout the majority of the project.

It is our intent to minimize the disruption of your normal routines as best we can. If you have any questions, at any time during the duration of the project, feel free to call the DPW Engineering Division at 781-235-7600, extension 3315.
