ROADWAY RECONSTRUCTION
Alden Road, Sheldon Road, Hazel Street
Resident and Abutters
Your road has been selected for roadway improvements consisting of roadway reclamation and repaving of
the roadway, installation of granite curbing, and new concrete sidewalks, driveway aprons, and accessible
ramps.
Lowering of castings and roadway reclamation is scheduled to begin as noted below. Work will be performed
by our contractor, Lorusso Corporation. All construction dates noted are weather permitting and subject to
change.
Mobilize, set up tree protection, excavate driveways and add gravel: beginning Monday, June 14
Lowering Castings (anticipated start dates): Wednesday, June 16
Reclamation and Grading (anticipated start dates): Thursday, June 17 and Friday, June 18
Binder Course Paving (anticipated start date): Monday, June 21
Reclamation is a process by which the existing road surface is ripped up and pulverized, leaving several
inches of ground up material that is then graded and compacted to form a new roadway base. A binder (first)
course asphalt pavement is then placed on top of the new roadway base.
Where necessary, `No Parking' signs will be posted along the area selected for road work. Please do not park
your car in the posted area. The Watertown Police will be informed of the construction and its effects. Typical
hours of construction work are from 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
Residents of Alden Road and Sheldon Road: Please note that Belmont Street is under control of the Town of
Belmont and overnight parking is not permitted.
We will provide updates as the various phases of work continue. General schedule updates and FAQs are
available at the DPW web -site: http://www.watertowndpw.org/l91/Annual-Road-Program.
Should you have any questions or concerns regarding the project please contact the department at (617) 972-
