Amherst Renews Work On North Pleasant Street

THE TOWN OF AMHERST has returned to continue work on North Pleasant Street from Triangle Street to Massachusetts Avenue.

North Pleasant Street is once again intermittently CLOSED to southbound traffic from Massachusetts Avenue to Fearing Street. Southbound North Pleasant Street traffic is being detoured onto Massachusetts Avenue, Lincoln Avenue and Fearing Street. Northbound traffic will be allowed through. (See map)

Work is taking place between 6AM and 4PM, weekdays. The roadway will reopen to two-way traffic on evenings and weekends. Please watch for and follow all detour signs.

Please note that we do not, at this writing, have any specific timetable from the Town of Amherst as to when they expect to complete work in the area. We have requested this information, and it will be posted when available.

Questions concerning this project should be directed to Town Engineer Jason O. Skeels, Amherst DPW, 259-3029; skeelsj@amherstma.gov.
