The Cummins Highway construction updates for February outline crucial ongoing improvements aimed at enhancing local infrastructure. With work hours set from 7 a. m. to 3:30 p. m.

, parking restrictions will be enforced on Cummins from Woodhaven Street to Wood Avenue during all hours. The contractor, McCourt, is responsible for installing light pole bases, conduits, and pull boxes from Itasca Street to Harvard Street, alongside drainage structures at Ridlon Road and between Kennebec and Hebron Streets. Temporary sidewalk closures will necessitate pedestrian detours, ensuring safety during the construction process. In late February, additional work will focus on the southern side of Cummins from Wood Avenue to Ridlon Road. Significant progress has already been made in 2024, including the removal of a center median and the installation of new streetlights.

These improvements are vital for enhancing traffic flow and safety in the area. Residents are advised to remain vigilant about the ongoing construction and adjust their travel plans to minimize disruption.
