Between White Pond Road and Main Street in the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) inactive rail corridor, BOND has begun clearing vegetation within the limits of work. Crews may also be active between Wilkins Street, Chestnut Street, and Parmenter Road, in the inactive rail corridor. These activities are expected to last for several weeks and the removal of rails and ties will start at the end of the month.

Off Forest Avenue, one crew will install the first vault (MH1) starting on November 22 on Hudson Light & Power (49 Forest Avenue) property. Duct bank excavation (600 feet) started this week, and some vegetation removal will also be happening in the area. Construction on Forest Avenue will NOT commence until Spring 2023.

In the inactive MBTA corridor, crews have established construction entrances at the road crossings and will continue installing sediment and erosion controls moving east toward the Sudbury Substation (163 Boston Post Road). Initial vegetation clearing is expected to happen in early December.
