Cable installation involves equipment located at project manholes and does not require any excavation. Traffic may be diverted around the manhole locations during work hours.
Work hours are 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM Monday through Friday, with some crews continuing work between 8:00 AM and 3:30 PM on Saturdays. Please let us know about any upcoming deliveries or special events that we can prepare to assist you with.
At times, work vehicles may need to stage outside of active worksites for traffic management purposes.
Please note that parking may be limited and/or through-traffic may be detoured on the following streets: Congress, Hale, East Lothrop, Monument Square, and Cross Lane in Beverly, and Bridge Street in Salem. Residents will always be able to access their homes and driveways with assistance from police details, crew members, and traffic signage.
At times, construction equipment generates noise that will be noticeable to abutters. We thank you for your patience and understanding as we perform these critical infrastructure upgrades.
