Remaining Punch-list Items and Moving Toward 100% Project Completion (Expected End of Month)

Following last month’s construction of the new raised intersection at Holland Street/Irving Street/Thorndike Street, crews are working to complete a short “punch-list” of remaining construction items.

This work includes replacing any sidewalk panels where grades might be off, inspecting catch basins for any flow issues, ensuring all signage is installed correctly, and all required pavement markings/striping is complete.

What to Expect

• Small crews will be working around Holland Street from Claremon Street to Teele Square, Holland Street from Simpson Ave to Davis Square, and College Avenue, from Davis Square to Park Ave) over the coming weeks to complete these items.
• The majority of the remaining work is expected to take place during typical construction hours (weekdays, 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.); However pavement marking/striping work typically takes place overnight.
  • While overnight pavement marking is underway, there may be some brief periods of elevated noise levels near work zones.

These items are currently expected to be wrapped up and the project at 100% completion by the end of this month.
