As we head into July, the majority of the work in the Fitchburg portion of Route 12 will be complete. There are still projects to be finished in Fitchburg, but the major work there is done!

Traffic signals have been installed at the intersection of Wanoosnoc and Water Streets and are already in use. The traffic signals at the Nichols and Battles Streets and Water Street have been installed but are not yet functioning. Check back for information on when to expect to see them in use.

In Leominster, roadway widening is occurring near the Route 2 Hyundai site. This portion should be completed before the July 4th holiday weekend. Next week (beginning June 30th), expect sidewalks to be poured and granite curbs to be installed in this same section of roadway. Catch basins and manholes will also be installed.  If you have any questions or concerns contact Betsy Zoldak at (978) 353-7600 extension 241.

The month of June so far brought much action and progress on Route 12. Paving has started on Holman Avenue. This week expect granite curb installation starting near the Irving Station. This work moves towards the Leominster line. Widening work will continue in the State Street area. The installation of signal equipment at the intersections of Route 12 & Benson St. as well as Route 12 & Nichols and Battles Streets will continue. This includes the structures the lights will be hung off of as well as the actual traffic lights.  If you have any questions or concerns contact Betsy Zoldak at (978) 353-7600 extension 241.

During the remainder of the month of May, there will be roadway widening between the area near Dunkin Donuts and the State Street intersection. Subcontractors will continue to install signal equipment at the intersection of Route 12 and Bemis & Wanoosnoc Road in Fitchburg. The Nichols and Battles and State Street intersection will also continue to see improvements. At the end of the month, anticipate work on the curb installation from the Benson Street area southward into Leominster on Rte. 12. After this is complete, expect work to begin on the sidewalks behind the curbs.  If you have any questions or concerns contact Betsy Zoldak at (978) 353-7600 extension 241.

With the official start of spring behind us, it is time again for work to start on the Route 12 project.  This week preparation for the installation of permanent traffic signals at Bemis Road began.  Work will also continue on the sidewalks between Benson Street and the Nichols and Battles Streets.  Other signal work will also be done in the area in order to connect the proposed new traffic signals. This site will continue to provide you with information on upcoming work throughout the spring and summer.  If you have any questions or concerns contact Betsy Zoldak at (978) 353-7600 extension 241.
