NOTICE OF CONSTRUCTION
LEXINGTON ST
GAS MAIN INSTALLATION
February 6, 2019
Dear Lexington St Abutter:
The Watertown Department of Public Works announces that National Grid will be
continuing construction to install a new plastic gas main along Lexington St from
Main St to Acton St in order to replace an aged gas main. This project was put on
hold due to the National Grid work stoppage.
You are receiving this notice since you are an immediate abutter to the project area.
The project will include construction activities such as excavation and backfilling,
paving, services renewals, restoration of disturbed surface areas, traffic control, and
site clean up.
Contractors will be performing the work on behalf of National Grid. Feeney Brothers
Excavation Corporation of Boston, MA will be responsible for excavation, backfilling
and restoration.
Work is proposed to begin on February 5, 2019, and is anticipated to be complete in
two months. Final cleanup and paving restoration activities will be necessary.
Work hours will generally be between 7:00 am and 4:00 pm Monday through Friday,
with the potential for Saturday work. There may be dust and/or noise generated by
the work and minor traffic / detour inconveniences. Existing gas services will be
disrupted when new installations / connections to the new gas main must be made.
Should you have any questions concerning the project, please contact National Grid
at 781-907-3804. If the Watertown Department of Public Works can be of any
assistance, please feel free to contact the DPW at 617-972-6420.
We appreciate your cooperation and patience throughout the duration of this project.
Gerald S. Mee, Jr.
Superintendent of P is Works
