>Construction Notice:  Mass Avenue Roadway
> From Budget Rent-A-Car to Albany Street
>
>On or shortly after Thursday, August 4, 2005 (weather permitting), Mass 
>Highway's contractor, the ROADS Corporation, will begin full-depth 
>reconstruction of the roadway on Mass Ave from Budget Rent-A-Car to Albany 
>Street, eastbound.  This phase of construction will take approximately one 
>month to complete.  Normal work hours for this construction will be Monday 
>through Friday, 7 AM to 5 PM.
>
>How will this construction affect traffic and parking?
>Work zones will be designated with jersey barriers.  "No Parking" signs 
>will be posted in affected areas at least 24 hours in advance of 
>construction.  Please avoid parking in work zones during posted work 
>hours.  Traffic will be able to flow in both directions along Mass Ave at 
>all times during this construction.
>
>During full-depth reconstruction at the Albany St intersection, traffic on 
>Albany St will be reduced to one lane in the northeast direction (heading 
>away from Cambridgeport) at the Mass Ave intersection for approximately 3 
>days.  Traffic heading southwest, into Cambridgeport, will be detoured to 
>use Sidney St to Pacific St to Albany St (as described on the detour map 
>on the reverse of this notice).
>
>This operation is expected to take place from Monday, August 8- Wednesday, 
>August 10.  The contractor will make every effort to re-open this 
>intersection to two-way traffic at the end of each workday.  Police 
>details and detour signage will be effect to assist drivers during this 
>operation.
>
>The Albany St intersection will also have to be closed for one-day in 
>order to complete paving.  The City has given the contractor special 
>permission to start their work at this intersection at 5 AM on this day, 
>so that they can limit the closure to one-day (rather than two).  On that 
>day, all traffic approaching Mass Ave on Albany St will be detoured to use 
>Pacific and Sidney St.
>
>Who will address my concerns during construction?
>If you need assistance, or have any questions or concerns during this 
>construction, please contact Rebecca Fuentes, Community Relations Manager 
>for the Department of Public Works at (617) 349-6948/ 
>rfuentes at cambridgema.gov; please also contact Rebecca if you have a 
>special need or disability that requires an accommodation or continuation 
>of special services during construction.  Please contact Rebecca if you 
>have a business and are concerned about deliveries or driveway access 
>during construction.  You can also contact Rebecca to receive future 
>construction updates via e-mail.
>
>We thank you for your patience during this construction process, and hope 
>you enjoy these improvements to once they are completed.
