Pittsfield: Temporary New Traffic Pattern on Fenn St.

Print Story | Email Story
PITTSFIELD, Mass.— A temporary new traffic pattern will be in place on Fenn  Street, between Allen Street and First Street, beginning on Monday, May 8 due to underground  utility work conducted by Eversource.  
 
This work is expected to continue over the next several weeks. While this work is underway, we encourage drivers to seek alternate routes and follow the designated detour signs.  
 
Traffic travelling from North Street will be detoured to Allen Street or to Renne Avenue. For  travel from First Street, Fenn Street will be reduced to one lane for travel using the westbound  lane. At times, this single lane will be temporarily closed due to large construction equipment in  use.  
 
On-street parking, on Fenn Street, located next to City Hall, is prohibited during this work between the hours of 6 a.m.-6 p.m. 
 
Pearl Street will only be accessible via Eagle Street.
