Construction Notice: Field Investigations Scheduled for the Week of April 27

A City of Cambridge contractor will be excavating test pits at various locations on Inman Street between Hampshire Street and Broadway during the week of April 27. This activity is necessary to support the ongoing design that the City is doing for the Inman Street Reconstruction Project and will temporarily impact street operations and parking.

What Should I Expect During this Work?

  • Work will begin on or about Wednesday, April 29 and continue for approximately two days.
  • Work hours will be Monday-Friday, 7 AM – 4 PM.
  • The work consists of excavating test pits in streets and sidewalks. The purpose of the test pits is to confirm the location of existing underground utilities. Obtaining this more accurate information will allow our design team to plan for the future installation of new utilities on these streets.
  • There will be noise from the operations, as the use of heavy equipment is involved.
  • “No Parking” signs will be posted 48-hours in advance. Please be sure to check dates and times.
  • Accessible pedestrian access will be maintained at all times.
  • Emergency vehicles and city services such as trash collection will have access at all times.
