ROAD CONSTRUCTION NOTICE
COMMON STREET, FROM COLUMBIA ST. TO ORCHARD ST. INCLUDING INTERSECTIONS
KATHERINE ROAD (TO CHURCH STREET)
The Watertown Department of Public Works and our contractor, Onyx Corp., will begin the installation of
curbing, concrete sidewalks, handicap ramps and driveway aprons. Work is anticipated to begin on the east
side of Common Street, at Columbia Street, and work northwards.
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.
Should you have any questions, please e-mail dpwdept@watertown-ma.gov or you may call Ed Baptista,
Highway Supervisor, at 617-972-6420.
Sincerely,
