Poquanticut Avenue Detour Set For Easton Sewer Work

MANSFIELD, MA — Sewer work being planned as part of the Five Corners Project next week will include a detour on Poquanticut Avenue between Foundry Street and South Street. The installation of sewer main and service lateral work is also scheduled to be completed from South Street from Foundry Street as part of next week's work.

C. Naughton Corp is tentatively scheduled to start working on Poquanticut Avenue, weather permitting, beginning at the Foundry Street intersection. Roadway surface maintenance and repairs to settled areas on Foundry Street will be ongoing as necessary.

When work is underway on Poquanticut Avenue between Foundry Street and South Street, the roadway will be closed to through traffic during work hours. Residents and emergency vehicles will have constant access to and from the residences throughout the day. All other southbound traffic on Poquanticut Avenue will be diverted around South Street to access Foundry Street.

There will be no through access to Poquanticut Avenue from Foundry Street during working hours. Drivers wishing to access Poqanticut Avenue must do so by way of South Street or Beaver Dam while construction work is active between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m.

The contractor will continue working through the winter months on the pump station installation and may do limited work on side streets. The remaining roadway work will resume in the spring. For more information go to www.fivecornerssewer.com.
