Bourne Rotary nightly work is expected to begin soon. What to know.
Nightly roadwork at the Bourne Rotary will begin on Monday, March 4, according to the Massachusetts Department of Transportation.
Work to improve the rotary will include drainage work, milling, paving, and pavement markings and will ultimately aim to improve the aging infrastructure. Work will begin Monday night through Friday morning from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m., with the road expected to be fully open by 5 a.m. each morning.
The project should be completed in the fall.
Massachusetts Department of Transportation spokesman John Goggin said in an email the work was planned with overnight work hours to minimize traffic impacts during peak travel times.
The project was awarded to Falmouth-based Lawrence Lynch Corporation on Oct. 19 with a notice to proceed issued on Nov. 9, said Goggin. The bid amount was awarded for approximately $1.8 million.
Drivers traveling through the affected areas should expect delays, reduce their speed, and use caution, according to the department. Signs, law enforcement details, and advanced message boards will be in place to help drivers through the work area.
