- MWRA’s contractor has finished installing all the 36-inch water line and heavy construction activities have now been completed. The streets will be swept and the area secured.
- Through January, the contractor will be inspecting, filling, testing, and disinfecting the new line. These activities requiring both day and nighttime work, but generate significantly less noise.
- In the spring, the contractor will return to construct new pedestrian ramps and sidewalks along the Stonehill Towers side of Route 28 during daytime hours. Final paving (curb to curb) along the southbound side of Route 28 from North Street in Stoneham up to South Street in Reading will be done at night.
MWRA thanks residents for their patience and understanding during this project.
