CHELMSFORD – The Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) is announcing it will be implementing a daytime road closure and detour of Concord Road at Route 4 (Boston Road) in Chelmsford. The closure will take place on Saturday, October 2, from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. The closure will allow crews to safely excavate and install sections of a precast concrete culvert across Concord Road.
Detours will be in place as follows:
- Concord Road northbound will be detoured right onto Harvey Road and left onto Route 4.
- Concord Road southbound will be detoured left onto Route 4 and then right onto Harvey Road.
This work is part of a $2.3 million project for intersection improvements and a culvert replacement at the intersection of Route 4 and Concord Road. Work is expected to be completed in early Spring 2023.
Those traveling through the area should expect delays, reduce speed and use caution. Appropriate signage and messaging will be in place to guide drivers through the detour.
The schedule for this work is weather dependent and subject to change without notice.
