North Andover Could Receive $815K for Road Repairs

NORTH ANDOVER, MA -- The Town of North Andover could receive about $815,000 for road-related projects, if legislation passed by the House becomes law, according to North Andover Wicked Local.

The Massachusetts House of Representatives recently passed a bill to authorize $200 million in Chapter 90 funds for road-related projects in cities and towns throughout the state, Wicked Local reports. Within that bill there is $815,312 allocated to North Andover, which currently has several road and sidewalk projects underway.

The funds, if passed, will be used for a variety of purposes, including sidewalk, bridge and pothole repairs, landscaping, and tree planting, roadside drainage and streetlights, Wicked Local states..

The mill neighborhood downtown is about to be in full construction mode on Water Street -- from High Street to Church Street -- for the next few weeks. Traffic will be one-way only, inbound toward Main Street.

There are other planned projects, including Great Pond Road, Pleasant Street and Salem Street. There won't be any road restrictions, but there will be traffic delays.
