Road work on Route 126 coming
Starting the week of April 29, a section of Route 126 in Lincoln and Concord between the Lincoln/Wayland town line and Rte. 2 in Concord will undergo repaving work that’s expected to take approximately four weeks, weather permitting. The work will take place Monday to Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Traffic may be detoured at times in at least in one direction. It’s very important to pay attention to the police details, signage, and flow of traffic, especially when exiting and entering driveways or side streets. At times it may be flowing in the wrong direction and/or on the wrong side of the road. Please try make sure there are no parked vehicles on the roadway during our work hours. Emergency vehicles will always have access. Electronic message boards will give updated info and advance notice of the paving schedule in your section of Rte. 126. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Lincoln Department of Public Worksa or D&R Paving at 781-321-7772.
