Mass Ave Roadway Paving

caution sign The information on this page may be outdated as it was published 8 years ago.

MASSACHUSETTS AVENUE ROADWAY PAVING NOTICE

The City’s contractor, Marchese Construction, will be paving a section of Massachusetts Avenue from Garfield Street to Forest Street on Friday, September 25.  Work hours will be from 7 PM Friday evening until 8 AM Saturday morning.

This will be the final significant phase of construction.  Typically we would pave during the daytime, however, this paving has to be scheduled at night due to the volume of traffic on Mass Ave and the need for the MBTA to shut down the overhead catenary wires associated with the electric buses. 

What to Expect During Roadway Paving:

  • Work hours will be 7 PM to 8 AM
  • Vehicle access in and out of properties will be limited during work hours. Please plan vehicle and parking trips accordingly.
  • “No Parking” signs will be posted 24 hours in advance of the work.  Please be sure to check dates/times. PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE WILL BE NO PARKING ON EITHER SIDE OF MASS AVE FROM WENDELL STREET TO FOREST STREET AS NEEDED FOR MAINTAINING TRAFFIC FLOW.  
  • No right turn from Wendell Street onto Mass Ave will be allowed. 
  • Side streets will be detoured throughout the evening.  Please see map on the back of this notice for details.
  • Emergency vehicles will have access at all times.
