Next week, cable-pulling equipment will be in use at the manholes in Monument Square and on Hale Street. This work does not require any excavation. If necessary, cable-pulling may continue on Saturdays.

In advance of cable installation, preparatory work will continue inside the installed manholes on Congress Street, Hale Street, Broadway, and in Monument Square. This work does not require any excavation. Traffic may be diverted around the manholes during working hours.

Work hours in Beverly and Salem are from 7:00 AM to 4:30 PM Monday through Friday except where otherwise noted. 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 in Beverly: Congress, Park, Pleasant, Hale, East Lothrop, Boyles, Cross Lane, Monument Square and Broadway. 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.
