City of Cambridge road enhancement work begins this week, impacting Main Street between Galileo Way and Ames Street. Roadway milling (grinding) will take place from Wednesday, June 9 to Thursday, June 10, followed by final paving operations starting the week of June 22.
Expect travel disruptions Monday–Friday from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm:
- Detours and delays: Detours will be actively enforced while work is underway. Please follow all posted signs and road detail officers.
- Parking disruptions: On-street parking will be restricted. Temporary paper signs will be posted 24 hours in advance to outline specific restricted zones.
- Rough conditions: Once the street is milled, expect a rougher driving surface with raised manhole covers. Drivers, cyclists, and motorcyclists should exercise extra caution.
- Property access: Vehicle access into properties and driveways directly within the paving limits will be temporarily restricted during active paving operations.
Please plan your commute accordingly and consider alternate routes to avoid delays. For full project details and potential updates, you can view the official Cambridge Public Works Announcement.
