Construction Update
Median removal work has concluded and Cambridge DPW has temporarily patched the location of the former large island.
Ahead of Somerville’s new stop signs on Elm Street at Beech Street, which went into effect Friday, September 11, we used cones to tighten the intersection to roughly match the future geometry. This temporary alignment will remain until Cambridge DPW repaves Beech Street, which is now tentatively scheduled for the week of September 28, a delay of a few weeks.
During this interim period, parking and loading will remain available along the bend of the roadway, though access will be somewhat impacted due to the placement of the cones.
Following repaving, we will once again reestablish the new roadway alignment with cones and DOT staff will begin to lay out the locations of the future lines. During this time, changes to parking and loading signs will be made. We will wait at least two weeks after paving before lines are installed to allow for the pavement oils to set.
We will continue to update this email list and the project website as implementation moves along.
