Park St. Closed 11/21 and 11/22 for Railroad Construction

From Saturday, Nov. 21 at 1 a.m. through Sunday, Nov 22 at approximately midnight, Keolis construction personnel will be working at the Park St. railroad crossing to remove and replace existing track structures, requiring the closure of Park St. between Somerville Ave. and Beacon St. (open to abutters only) throughout the weekend. During the work, detours will be posted as follows:

  • Beacon St. at Park St.: vehicles detoured westbound to Somerville Ave. at Beacon St.
  • Somerville Ave. at Park St.: vehicles detoured eastbound to Dane St., Washington St., and Beacon St.

 

Detour routes will be well marked, and police will be stationed in these areas and at secondary intersections to assist with traffic flow. Access will be maintained for abutters and local businesses.

This work is part of a three year project to rehabilitate rail lines throughout the region.
