Summit Avenue Reconstruction & Stormwater Demonstration Project

Project Update 4/22/2024

The contractor will be back on the street on Monday April 22. They are planning on working at the entrance to Summit Ave at Weston Street. You will not be able to access Summit Ave from Weston Street during this work. There are other miscellaneous tasks to do that will not keep them in one location for very long. You will be able to access to the street during these tasks.

The contractors will be milling the pavement on Elmwood Avenue during the week of April 29. The final paving within a week after the milling.

Tomorrow, April 23 the contractor will be removing the temporary driveway pavement that was installed last year. The permanent pavement base course will be installed. While they are working on your driveway you will not be able to use it. This will be completed by the end of the day. If you will be using the driveway during the day please park on a street other than Summit Avenue. There will be a small lip where the new and existing driveways meet. It will be filled in when the contractor does the final top course of paving.

Project Description:

This project will consist of various water, sewer, and drainage improvements to Summit Avenue.  Once all utility improvements have been completed the roadway will be reconstructed and re-paved.  The City has awarded this project to Tasco Construction, Inc of Belmont, MA.  It is anticipated that construction will begin in mid-August 2023.

Please note that during construction, on-street parking will be limited.  Crews will place “No-Parking” signs each morning ahead of work planned for the following day.  These “No-Parking” signs will be in effect between 7:00am and 5:00pm. 

Trash and Recycling pick-up will be held on their normally scheduled days.  There may be times where pick up times will be 7:00am to avoid conflict with construction crews.  Please have trash and recycling out to the curb by 7:00am at the latest on collection days to ensure pick-up.

The City will be sending out regular email updates to residents.  In order to sign up for these updates please send an email to jgetherall@city.waltham.ma.us to be added to the list.

If you have any questions, you can call us at 781-314-3830 or e-mail at jgetherall@city.waltham.ma.us.
