Next week you can expect to see construction activity at two work sites on Newport Avenue (between Warren Avenue and N. Central Avenue Avenue and between Holbrook Road and N. Central Avenue).

Please note no work will occur on Thursday, November 24, due to the Thanksgiving holiday. No work will take place on city streets on Friday, November 25.

Construction hours at both work sites are 7:00am to 4:30pm, Monday through Friday.

Please note due to high groundwater and increasingly cold overnight temperatures expected in the coming weeks, only one crew will be active on Newport Avenue between W. Squantum Street and N. Central Avenue during the week of November 28.

As always, we ask that drivers and pedestrians remain mindful of lane shifts, posted traffic signage, and the direction of police details stationed around these work zones.

Please know that construction is scheduled to minimize the impact on traffic and everyday life; sections of your street will likely only be impacted by the construction for weeks—not years. That said, we understand that construction doesn’t always feel “short-term” when it’s in front of your home or business. As work begins in your area, we will continue to work to mitigate inconveniences that come up to the greatest extent feasible. Please let us know about upcoming deliveries, schedules, and events that could be impacted by work.

*Please note, due to the complexities of outdoor construction, schedule is subject to change.
