Work on the project will take place on one side of the road at a time, and a minimum of two lanes for traffic will be maintained during construction. Work on the easterly side of the bridge will be accomplished first, followed by work on the westerly side.
Project work will include the following: Retrofit of approach guardrails, bridge railing transitions, stone parapet wall improvements, replacement of sidewalk panels, milling and overlaying pavement in the immediate area of the bridge and other incidental work. The work will be accomplished by R. Bates & Sons, Inc., under the direction of the city of Newton and the Town of Wellesley. Also, as part of the project, National Grid will be relocating a gas main in the bridge area.
Project changes, periodic updates, an opportunity to provide feedback, or to subscribe to Wellesley news and announcements, can be found on the Town of Wellesley website at www.ci.wellesley.ma.us/ under “Current Projects.”
It is our intent to minimize the disruption of your normal routines as best we can. If you have any questions, at anytime during the duration of the project, feel free to call the DPW Engineering Division at 781-235-7600, extension 3315.
