Here’s what to expect from the North Quincy Cable Replacement Project in the coming weeks.

Barring inclement weather or other extenuating circumstances, over the next two weeks you can expect to see continued work site set up and other construction activity at our work sites near the intersection of Newport Avenue Extension and Stratton Way, and within the parking lot of 100 Newport Avenue Extension. This construction activity is expected to include excavation, drilling, and manhole installation on Newport Avenue Extension, between Stratton Way and West Squantum Street – and within the parking lot of 100 Newport Avenue Extension.

We look forward to reporting on our progress and providing more information regarding work timelines for the above-mentioned activities in future updates.
