A presenter provided an update on the Boylston Drive and Hammond Drive intersection project, saying crews are now installing a stormwater system and that lane closures will be in place on Saturday, May 30 and June 6 from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. to complete part of the work.
The presenter said the work follows an earlier phase of utility relocations that took place behind the scenes after the project kicked off last fall. Large concrete pipes for the stormwater system are currently staged at the site, the presenter said, and that installation requires temporary traffic adjustments.
The project will replace two separate intersections with a single signalized intersection at the Hammond Glenn Retirement Community, the presenter said, and will include a new side path on Boylston Drive for pedestrians. The presenter described the changes as intended to produce a safer, more efficient intersection.
The presenter said the overall project should wrap up in winter of 2026. The planned weekend lane closures on May 30 and June 6, 7:00 a.m.–7:00 p.m., are intended specifically to allow work on the stormwater system to proceed safely and without longer daytime disruptions.
