7 May, 2015
As we approach the start of our roadway resurfacing season I would like to thank the residents of Hopkinton for their continued support of our Pavement Management Program. We had a very successful 2014 season and hope to continue that in 2015 as funding allows. Each street that is on this year’s list has been inspected and evaluated to determine which treatment method is best based on its current condition. This will help ensure that we are maximizing the use of our Chapter 90 money in the most effective way.
Every year our goal is to begin Pavement Management work as soon as school ends in June and finish in September when school begins. We will post updated construction dates as we move forward with each project.
Under the Town of Hopkinton’s Road Opening Permit Policy, No permit will be granted for a period of 5 years on newly paved streets except in the case of an emergency. If your street is on this year’s list and you are considering having any utility work done to your home that would require the road to be cut I would recommend contacting the appropriate utility company and schedule the work to be done before June 15th, 2015. This will ensure that you get the work you need done before we begin resurfacing that street.
Here is a list of streets that are currently scheduled to be resurfaced this year.
Ash St – From Stone Crossing to Front St
Oakhurst Rd – Full length
Proctor St – From Saddle Hill Rd to cul-de-sac
Walker St – Full length
Meserve St – Full length
Teresa Rd – From Nicholas Rd (E) to Alexander Rd (E)
Wilson St – 1500’ N of East Main St to 2800’ N of East Main St
Main St – West Main St to 100’ E of Claflin PL
Wood St – Westboro line to 1000 ft E of Rocky Woods Rd
Wood St – 495 bridge to Elm St
Once work begins on each project please expect delays, seek alternate routes when possible and plan accordingly. The DPW appreciates your patience and cooperation during this 2015 construction season.
Sincerely,
Mike Mansir
Highway Manager
