Town Of Bedford Roadway Repair Work During Week Of May 3

Press release from the Town of Bedford:

May 3, 2021

The Bedford Department of Public Works has scheduled roadway repair work for the following locations, beginning Tuesday May 4th, 2021 with the mill and fill process: Shawsheen Road, Burlington Road, Hume Road, Wilson Road, Crosby Road, Old Billerica Road, Old Stagecoach Road, Pine Hill Road, Temple Terrace, Alcott Street, and Carlisle Road.

The mill and fill is one of DPW’s routine methods for repair of neighborhood roadways. The process includes grinding off only portions of deteriorated roadway segments.

Milling involves grinding and lifting the top layer of existing asphalt pavement in these segments by means of a small milling machine. Filling involves filling up these milled segments with a new Asphalt top course.

The typical depth of milling is between 1 to 2 inches depending on the condition of the depth of existing asphalt pavement.

Traffic will be managed by the police on-site; please anticipate delays and plan your trips on these roads accordingly. Vehicle access in and out of properties will be maintained but may be restricted for short periods. Emergency vehicles and vehicles for Town services (trash collection, etc.) will always have access at all times. Work hours will be 7 AM to 4 PM. Please drive carefully and adhere to traffic rules and signages in construction zones. Please note that milled surfaces may be exposed for a day or two prior to establishing the new paving surface. We will post updates on our DPW website as work progresses or completes.

Thank you for your patience. Please contact the Department of Public Works at (781) 275-7605 if you have any questions or need additional information.
