A crew from Maxymillian Technologies of Pittsfield is reworking the Five Corners intersection in South Williamstown.
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — A busy year of roadwork and construction continues to transform the Village Beautiful.
Spring and summer saw the completion of the expansion and renovation project at the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute, the end of Williams College's Stetson-Sawyer Library project, the erection of new grandstands and turf fields at Weston Field, and the resurfacing of portions of Main Street (Route 2), North Street and Simonds Road (Route 7).
On Monday, Adams Trucking began work on the $222,000 installation of a road to the planned senior housing development project, Highland Woods, at the end of Southworth Street and next to the current Proprietor's Field senior apartments.
On Thursday, a crew from Maxymillion Technologies, Inc., began work on the Five Corners intersection in South Williamstown. The Massachusetts Department of Transportation is reorienting the intersection to provide better sightlines for drivers entering the through highway (U.S. 7) from Route 43 — Green River Road to the east and Hancock Road to the west.
The Five Corners project is expected to take a couple of weeks.
And any day now, Delsignore Blacktop Paving of Troy, N.Y., will begin a $451,500 resurfacing project on the the town's portions of Routes 2 and 7 (North Street, Main Street and Cold Spring Road). That work is expected to be completed by Oct. 31.
Meanwhile, the town continues to remove infrastructure at the soon-to-be-closed Spruces Mobile Home Park, and the Boston-based developer of the Cable Mills apartment project on Water Street — at last word — hopes to begin work on that long-awaited project before the end of the year.

Clark Art Presents Music At the Manton Concert
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The Clark Art Institute kicks off its three-part Music at the Manton Concert series for the spring season with a performance by Myriam Gendron and P.G. Six on Friday, April 26 at 7 pm.
The performance takes place in the Clark's auditorium, located in the Manton Research Center.
According to a press release:
Born in Canada, Myriam Gendron sings in both English and French. After her 2014 critically-acclaimed debut album Not So Deep as a Well, on which she put Dorothy Parker's poetry to music, Myriam Gendron returns with Ma délire – Songs of Love, Lost & Found. The bilingual double album is a modern exploration of North American folk tales and traditional melodies, harnessing the immortal spirit of traditional music.
P.G. Six, the stage name of Pat Gubler, opens for Myriam Gendron. A prominent figure in the Northeast folk music scene since the late 1990s, Gubler's latest record, Murmurs and Whispers, resonates with a compelling influence of UK psychedelic folk.
Tickets $10 ($8 members, $7 students, $5 children 15 and under). Accessible seats available; for information, call 413 458 0524. Advance registration encouraged. For more information and to register, visit clarkart.edu/events.
This performance is presented in collaboration with Belltower Records, North Adams, Massachusetts.
The donors, who wish to remain anonymous, say the gift reflects their desire to not only support Williams but also President Maud S. Mandel's strategic vision and plan for the college.
