DRIVEWAY APRON REPAIR
Dear Hovey Street Resident:
Weather permitting, the Public Works Department, through its road contractor, Newport
Construction, have scheduled driveway repair work to commence in front of your property
beginning on Monday, August 7, 2017.
The work involves removing the existing driveway apron, installing wooden sidewalk forms,
and pouring the new concrete driveway apron.
While work is ongoing, you will not have access to your driveway. We ask that you kindly
move your car by 7:00 AM and park it out of the work area. Please note that driveways may
remain closed up to three days to allow the concrete to cure.
Adjustments necessary to make driveways ADA compliant may require minor regrading of
areas beyond that back of the driveway.
The Watertown Police has been informed of the work, including the need for extended on -
street parking due to the driveway repairs.
Should you have any questions, please e-mail dpwdept(Qwatertown-ma.gov or you may call
Ed Baptista, Highway Supervisor, at 617-972.6420.
Sincerely,
Gerald S. Mee, Jr.
