SIDEWALK, DRIVEWAY AND HANDICAPPED RAMP REPAIRS
Belmont Street
The Watertown Department of Public Works and our contractor, Century Paving Inc, will begin the repair of
concrete sidewalks, handicap ramps and driveway aprons. This work is part of our annual sidewalk
maintenance and repair program, where selected sidewalk panels and driveway aprons that are heavily
damaged and/or trip hazards are repaired or replaced.
The work is scheduled to start, WEATHER PERMITTING, June 22, 2020 and will run for several days
thereafter. Typical work hours will be 7 AM to 4 PM.
• During the concrete installation process wooden planks will be placed across walkways to access your
residence.
• Please do not park your car next to any areas marked in front of your residence during construction.
• You will be notified by the Contractor prior to any work that affects access to your driveway. Driveways
may remain closed up to three days to permit the concrete to cure.
• Please note that there may be lapses in time between sidewalk excavation, installing wood sidewalk
forms, and final concrete work.
• Adjustments necessary to make sidewalks and driveways ADA compliant may require minor regrading
of areas beyond the back of sidewalk, such as landscaping, driveways or walkways. The Department
will match existing materials and finishes to the maximum extent possible.
• The Watertown Police will be informed of the construction and its effects, including the need for
extended on -street parking due to driveway repairs.
We apologize for the short notice and understand that the process is noisy, messy and disruptive and
apologize in advance for any inconvenience you may experience. We know you will enjoy the improved
appearance and condition of your sidewalks for many years in the future.
Should you have any questions, please e-mail dpwdept(a)-watertown-ma.gov or you may call Ed Baptista,
Highway Supervisor, at 617-972.6420.
