Cummins Highway Construction Update: Week of July 29, 2024

Construction Update: July 30, 2024

Woodhaven Street to Wood Ave

• Work Hours: 7:00 a.m. - 3:30 p.m.
• Timeline: Ongoing
• Parking restrictions: Parking will be restricted on Cummins from Woodhaven Street to Wood Ave during all hours 

Summary of Planned Work

Our contractor, McCourt Construction, will work between Woodhaven Street and Wood Ave. They will remove the median and the underground trolley tracks and use concrete barriers to close the middle two lanes, shifting traffic to the outer lanes.

Due to the nature of the work involved, noise from heavy construction activity is expected during approved work hours only. Between Woodhaven and Wood Ave, parking will be restricted, but the street will be open to traffic in one lane in each direction. All sidewalks and crosswalks will remain accessible.

Traffic management

Between 7:00 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., intersections near active construction will be right-turn only. When construction within the area begins, adjacent intersections will be closed off with reflective barrels and "RIGHT TURN ONLY" messaging for vehicles coming out of these affected side streets (barrels will be placed on both sides of the roadway). All intersections will reopen to traffic once construction activity ends each day.

The intersections of Cummins with Hallowell Street and Harmon Street will remain open to general traffic until 9:30 a.m. to minimize impacts on school bus routes.
