Cummins Highway Construction Update April 2025
The Cummins Highway construction update presents a comprehensive overview of ongoing improvements scheduled from April 7 to April 25, 2025. The project begins with full-depth excavation at critical intersections, including Wood Ave/Harvard and Itasca, necessitating temporary detours for pedestrian and vehicle access. As the work progresses, the focus will shift towards installing green infrastructure, enhancing the bike lane, and creating new sidewalks to promote safer travel. Concrete pouring will commence along Annafran Street and from Woodhaven to Itasca Street, emphasizing the commitment to urban beautification. Additionally, new traffic signal equipment will be installed at pivotal intersections, further enhancing safety measures for all road users.
The installation of stormwater infrastructure east of the MBTA Bridge showcases the city's dedication to environmental sustainability. This construction initiative not only aims to improve mobility but also to foster a greener urban landscape. Residents are encouraged to stay informed about temporary detours and changes to access during this transformative project.
