The City is installing new lighting on unlit parts of the community path extension! As part of this work, City contractors will need to temporarily close the path at these locations: 

• Monday, June 16: Walnut Street to Cross Street
• Tuesday, June 17: East Somerville MBTA Station to Poplar Street

Detours will be in place. Work will only take place at one location at a time, and each individual closure is expected to last about one day (7 a.m. to 3 p.m.)
