LOWELL STREET AND WOBURN STREET
INTERSECTION AND CORRIDOR IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
Please be advised that the Massachusetts Department of Transportation will be resuming construction of the Lowell Street and Woburn Street Intersection and Corridor Improvement Project on April 1, 2024; work is resuming after the winter season slow-down. As a reminder, this project received $5.46M in Federal and State funding through the State’s Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). The State’s contractor for this project, MDR Construction Co., Inc., is anticipating to resume roadway work along Woburn Street and Lowell Street on April 1, 2024 with utility and drainage improvement work. The project is expected to be a multi-year project, including various phases for corridor widening, dedicated left turn lanes, utility/drainage improvements, new mast arms/signals, bicycle lanes, sidewalks, and crosswalks.
The Town will be resuming bi-weekly meetings with the contractor and MassDOT starting on March 21, 2024. The contractor is contractually obligated by the State to provide a 3-week look-ahead for scheduling and notification purposes. To keep the Public updated on phases and potential traffic impacts, the Town will be posting the 3-week look-ahead to the Department of Public Works (DPW’s) website under “News and Announcements”; the Town is expecting to receive the first 3-week look-ahead for 2024 on March 21st, and will post it on the following website: https://www.wilmingtonma.gov/public-works.
Electronic copies of the plan are available in the Wilmington DPW Engineering Division Office located at 121 Glen Road (Wilmington Town Hall) and can be provided upon request by calling 978-658-4499.
Residents and businesses will have access to their properties throughout construction, although there may be short delays to accommodate worker and public safety.
As construction advances through the 2024 construction season, traffic delays are expected. We ask that everyone please obey the directives of police details and warning signage during this operation.
