massdot

The Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) is announcing it will be implementing daytime lane closures on portions of Route 1 (Bridge Road) in Salisbury.  The lane closures will be in place weekly, Monday through Friday, from Monday, September 19, through Friday, October 7, during daytime hours of 6:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.  The closures are needed to allow crews to safely and effectively conduct maintenance resurfacing operations. 

The work will consist of maintenance pavement resurfacing, utility structure adjustments and pavement marking improvement operations.  The maintenance resurfacing work is being done under a district-wide resurfacing contract with D&R General Contracting as the prime contractor.  The estimated value of this work assignment is approximately $850,000. 

The schedule for this work is weather dependent and subject to change without notice.

Drivers who are traveling through the area should reduce speed and use caution.

It is anticipated that two-way traffic will be maintained throughout the majority of the work.  Alternating one way traffic set ups may be implemented. 

Appropriate signage, law enforcement details, and advanced message boards will be in place to guide drivers through the work area. 

Detour routes will be appropriately signed during any roadway closures.
