The installation of door frames in the service elevator will wrap up, and completion of the cab will continue. The passenger elevator cab and rails will continue to be built as well.
Commonwealth Avenue storm connection work will be ongoing and the manhole will be placed next week. Pedestrians will continue to be re-routed through Blandford, Cummington, and Hinsdale Malls. Eastbound travel lanes will be reduced to one lane and shift south where we removed the jersey barriers and the overhead protection between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. daily.
Police details will continue to man the construction gates along Commonwealth Avenue to ensure public safety. Additional police details are assigned to control traffic and re-route pedestrians while the storm connection work is taking place. The safety of our community is our highest priority, so we ask that you please pay close attention to posted signs, police, and safety personnel.
