By Mark E. Vogler

SAUGUS – The town announced this week that the Department of Public Works (DPW) will begin pavement improvement projects on a dozen roads throughout the community. “Work will include pavement milling, overlay paving, roadway reclamation work and curb replacements,” Town Manager Scott C. Crabtree’s office said in a press release.

DPW crews are expected to begin work on the following roads as early as this week. The affected roads include Addison Avenue, Cross Street, Dudley Street, Eastern Avenue, Jamaica Road, Lake Street, Merrill Road, Pinehurst Street, Spring Street, Steven’s Place, Twilight Road and Warren Road. A listing of a road on the projects list “does not necessarily mean work will be performed on the entire length of the roads listed,” the town noted. The work should be completed by the fall, with the completion date dependent on the weather.

“During these construction efforts, parking will be limited in the work zones. Traffic detours will be established as required to allow for this work to proceed,” the town said. “We thank you in advance for your patience and cooperation during this construction project which will result in better quality roadways for the residents and businesses of the Town.”

The list of road projects is part of an ongoing commitment by the town to improve streets and roadways. Residents or business operators who have questions about the project should contact the DPW at 781-231-4143.
