Common Road will reopen to one-way traffic on Monday, November 2, 2026, at 10:00 AM.

Traffic will travel in one direction from the front of the church toward Library Hill Road. Motorists will be able to exit Common Road onto Library Hill Road.

Please note that construction on Common Road is not complete, with final paving anticipated during the next paving season. This is to allow time for the Town to conduct an engineering study to evaluate and determine the most appropriate long-term traffic pattern for the road.

We ask all motorists, pedestrians, and cyclists to exercise caution when travelling through the area.

We thank you for patience and cooperation as this work continues. If you have any questions, please contact the DPW at 978-897-8071 or [email protected].

Thank you, and please travel safely!
