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.

- Vehicle access in and out of properties will be limited during work hours. Please plan vehicle and parking trips accordingly.
