The Town of Bedford finished one round of micro paving work on Thursday, July 1, and Friday, July 2. Work was performed on Shawsheen Rd and Pine Hill Rd.
Micro paving work on Crosby Drive is occurring during the evening and night hours on Tuesday, July 6, and Wednesday, July 7.
Upcoming work includes:
- Shawsheen Road and Pine Hill Road (second round)
- Burlington Road from Old Billerica to just past Hume Road, and Old Billerica Rd, from Rte 62 to Noreen Drive. This work is expected to start on Friday, July 9, unless there are weather-related delays.
Micro surfacing/ micropaving/ micropavement is a surface treatment designed to extend the life of asphalt pavements in good condition by providing skid resistance, restricting moisture intrusion, protecting the structure from further oxidation, and raveling, and restoring a uniform black appearance. It fixes minor deformities in the road but isn’t used for larger structural issues. As the overall condition index of Bedford’s roads improves, more treatments like micro-surfacing will be used as a component of the paving maintenance program.
Traffic will be managed by the police on-site. Please anticipate delays and plan your trips on these roads accordingly. Vehicle access in and out of properties will be maintained but may be restricted for short periods. Emergency vehicles and vehicles for Town services (trash collection, etc.) will always have access at all times. Work hours will be 7 AM to 4 PM. Please drive carefully and adhere to traffic rules and signages in construction zones. We will post updates on our DPW website as work progresses or completes. Please subscribe to E-Alerts on Town’s website and sign up for the Department of Public works messages to receive emails and notifications for current and future work.
Police will be present during this work but some delays and lane closures can be expected, temporary detours will be marked and signage setup for vehicular traffic.
Thank you for your patience. Please contact the Department of Public Works at (781) 275-7605 if you have any questions or need additional information. We will be posting updates on the DPW News and Announcements and the Homepage as we receive them.
