Highland Ave Westbound Detour

On December 13, 2022, in Latest News, by The Somerville Times

Contractors have begun underground utility improvements along Highland Ave. The work is scheduled to take 2.5 months to complete (weather permitting).

Here’s what you need to know ahead of your commute:

Westbound traffic will be detoured south on School St. and west on Summer St. before turning right on Lowell St. to return to Highland Ave. Eastbound traffic remains as usual.

Temporary sidewalks will be installed to maintain safe crossings.

MBTA buses 88 and 90 will be allowed to proceed along Highland in both directions during the detour.

All businesses will remain open and accessible during construction.
