Fire Department Headquarters

Sept. 24-27: Overnight Firehouse Equipment Transport Road Closures, Traffic and Noise Impacts

*UPDATED* Noise Variance Notice: Fire Headquarters Renovation Project

The City's contractor, WT Rich, will be receiving equipment and materials needed to construct the Station 10 temporary fire house located at 15 Hovey Ave. You were notified in late July that this work was scheduled for early August. Unfortunately, due to delays along the 2,800 mile travel route this delivery had to be delayed.

The materials will now arrive beginning Sunday, September 24th. Due to the size of these materials, deliveries will arrive during the overnight hours of 8p.m. and 7a.m. on four consecutive nights between Sunday, September 24th and Friday, September 29th. The deliveries will arrive in four sections – one per night.

WT Rich submitted an application for a Special Noise Variance to the Cambridge Board of License Commissioners (“the Board”). If granted, it would serve to extend the dates requested and approved at the August 8, 2023, Board of License Commissioners’ Public Meeting. All other details will remain the same. Public Comment for consideration by the Board can be submitted to noise@cambridgema.gov.
