We owe our Summer Street commuters an apology this morning.

Work on the project was not scheduled to begin until 8:00 AM, but the contractor started early at approximately 7:45 AM, resulting in a traffic backup during the morning commute.

The Town and Water/Sewer Department have addressed the issue directly with the contractor.

We’re sorry for the frustration and inconvenience this caused, and we appreciate everyone’s patience while the final construction on the Central Street and Forced Main Project are completed.
