Completion of Broadway bridge construction delayed to 2015

LOWELL -- Following is a list of road construction in Lowell. All work is subject to weather conditions.

Acre

Broadway Street bridge conversion to one-way: Due to reduced weight limits, Boott Hydropower, Inc. has installed a one-way detour, diverting traffic coming into downtown around the bridge via Walker Street to Pevey Street to School Street. Due to the need for more extensive work than originally anticipated, repair is not expected to be done until 2015, and the one-way pattern will remain in effect.

Downtown

Two-way traffic conversion: Final conversion to two-way traffic is expected to take place in mid-August, but work is ongoing with signpost foundation, curb, sidewalk and ramp work. Excavation, utility work and paving at the following intersections: Dutton-Arcand, Merrimack-Shattuck, Merrimack-Palmer, Merrimack-Central, Merrimack-Prescott, Prescott-Central-Market, Market-Palmer, Shattuck-Market. New signal installation is expected to take place the latter part of July; switch to two-way pattern scheduled for Aug. 16.
