Starting later this month, drivers heading toward Concord Center from the Meriam’s Corner area will be detoured as the town of Concord performs roadway and drainage improvements along Cambridge Turnpike between Lexington Road and Route 2A.
The work will necessitate intermittent and occasional full road closure during daytime work hours. When Cambridge Turnpike is closed, eastbound traffic will be detoured to Bypass Road Lincoln via Lexington Road Concord (see map below). Westbound traffic will be detoured to Walden Street via Route 2.
Lincoln police will monitor the detour routes and coordinate with Concord police to minimize any impact on Lincoln’s roadways. The project is expected to take about a year.
Traffic will be detoured around a segment of Cambridge Turnpike (solid line), with Bypass Road in Lincoln bearing some of the eastbound Route 2 traffic (click map to enlarge).
