WESTFIELD—Construction projects throughout the city are getting close to wrapping up, but there is still some time for work.
Several projects in the city are going through the last few weeks of work before they are suspended for the winter. Depending on the weather, the projects may be able to go into December before they are suspended, then will be restarted in the spring.
Among the projects is the Route 187 improvement, which is a state-level project.
“They’re continuing work now, still plan on working, weather dependent, potentially into December,” assistant city engineer Jeremy Cigal said.
The city is expected to meet with the state in early December to discuss the project.
Then, once suspended, Cigal said that the project is expected to continue in the spring with a final cleanup, as well as a final paving of the road from Shaker Road to Tow Path Lane. In addition, final signage and line striping is set to occur, as well as landscaping additions.
Regarding city projects, the final road in the Joseph Avenue Sanitary Project, Christopher Drive, is expected to be done by the end of this year, with final cleanup in the spring, according to Cigal.
Also expected to be finished are the Cabot Road and Montgomery Road paving projects.
Then, sewer installation is expected to be complete on Gary Drive and Kelly Drive by winter, according to Cigal, with sidewalks being temporarily sealed and sprinkler systems being replaced. The construction equipment will then be demobilized and work will continue next spring, which will include sidewalks being completed and other roadwork there done sometime next year.
Other projects for next year tentatively look like Dry Bridge and Avery Street paving projects, according to Cigal.
