Main Installation

Starting on Sunday night, June 4th between the hours of 7pm and 5am and continuing through Thursday, June 8th, a Ferreira Corporation crew will be doing night work on North Main St in the area of Crescent St and Cove St. This work is necessary because of the ongoing MA DOT work occurring in the area of Weaver Street resulting in heavy traffic trying access and exit that neighborhood during the day at North Main & Cove Streets. The night work will help to ease that daytime congestion and make better access for the businesses, health care providers and residents at the Troy City Mill who are already inconvenienced by the bridge work on Weaver Street. There is an electronic signboard on N. Main St just south of the off ramp of Route 79 at Weaver Street notifying the public of the night work.
