On Monday (July 16) #SalemMA's contractor will be forming and pouring concrete for driveway aprons on the even side of Turner Street. Residents with parking areas off that side of the street are asked to remove vehicles from the street and private driveways/parking areas. Residents with parking areas off that side of the street will NOT have access to their driveways for 72 hours after the concrete is poured. During this time the commuter lot on Blaney Street is available for residents. On Wednesday the contractor will be forming and pouring on the odd side with the same parking restrictions.
Beginning Thursday, July 12, a temporary detour for west-bound traffic on part of Boston Street in #SalemMA will be in place so that D&M Civil, contractor for the River Rock development, can carry out City water main replacements and make the necessary water connections for the new building.
This work will take place Mondays through Fridays, 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and is expected to last approximately six weeks. Outside of construction hours the detour will be removed and two-way travel on Boston Street will be possible.
During the detour access to Dunkin' Donuts will be possible for east-bound traffic, taking a left into the Dunkin' Donuts parking lot. Vehicles will only be permitted to exit the parking lot by taking a left back onto Boston Street.
Detour: traffic traveling westbound on Boston Street should turn right onto Bridge Street, take an immediate left onto Goodhue Street, take a left on Grove Street at the stop sign, take the first left continuing on Grove Street, and then turn right at the traffic signal to continue onto Boston Street westbound. Trucks traveling westbound should continue straight after the stop sign at Grove Street and Goodhue Street, and proceed westbound on Harmony Grove Road. Trucks are prohibited past the Grove Street/Beaver Street intersection and will not be able to make the sharp left turn.
