Pittsfield City HallPrint Story | Email Story

Road work begins in Pittsfield at the end of the month.

PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Get ready for rumbles, and likely some grumbles, as the city begins road work at the end of the month.

"This will be a very active and productive season," said Mayor Daniel Bianchi. "A variety of work will be done throughout the city, and various applications of construction and reconstruction will address very needy roadways."  

Bianchi apologized in advance for driver inconvenience. "I am hopeful that the long-term benefits will provide us with much safer, more attractive city streets," he said in announcing the list of streets targeted for resurfacing this season.

Department of Public Works will be doing repairs and repaving of:


Lakeway Drive (Onota to Valentine), Easton Avenue, Mountain View Drive, Hancock Road (from North to Peck's), Highland Avenue, Gale Avenue (from West Housatonic to Redmond/Osceola), LeRoi Drive, Loumar Drive, Trova Terrace, Williamsburg Terrace, Deerfield Street, Greenwich Street, Meadowview Drive, Morningview Drive, Skyview Drive, Beaumont Drive, Highlawn Drive, Hopewell Drive, Farnsworth Terrace, Tanner, East Park Terrace, Faucett Lane, Mountain Drive, Glory Drive, Gaston Drive, Donna Avenue, Deborah Avenue, Denise Avenue, Adelaide Avenue and Ontario Street.

Resurfacing work on Hancock is currently delayed because of compaction testing results of the backfill of water main trench performed by Baltazar Construction. Baltazar has been required by the city to address the condition.

Parking on both sides of these streets will be temporarily restricted at times during the construction. Although the streets will remain open, the traveling public is advised to seek alternative routes during construction as temporary delays will be unavoidable. Further information regarding temporary parking restrictions will be noticed in subsequent press releases.
