Stretch Of Middlesex Avenue Route 62 In Wilmington Closed For 30 Days

WILMINGTON, MA —A portion of Middlesex Avenue Route 62 will close temporarily Monday due to the replacement of a failing culvert conveying water to Lubbers Brook, the Wilmington Department of Public Works (DPW) has announced.

The construction and closure are expected to last 30 days, DPW said.

According to DPW, the project will require a full closure of both lanes of Middlesex Avenue Route 62 at the culvert — between Jefferson Avenue and North Street.

During the closure, all vehicular commuter traffic will be detoured using High Street and Woburn Street, to Concord Street and Federal Street, DPW said. The agency said heavy traffic will be detoured utilizing Interstate 93.

Officials said local residents and businesses will continue to have access to their properties using the detours, though there may be short delays.

Updates about the construction project are available on the Town of Wilmington website. Any other questions can be directed to DPW at 978-658-4481.
