PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The City of Pittsfield has announced the commencement of a street improvement project beginning Monday, April 14.

 

From April 14 to April 18, the city's contractor will be lowering structures and milling the following roads: Joseph Drive, Backman Avenue, Jason Street (from Friar Drive to West Street), Orlando Avenue, and Ridge Avenue.

 

On-street parking will be prohibited on these roads between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. during the work. Motorists are advised to exercise caution when traveling in these areas. The schedule is subject to change due to weather conditions.

 

The roadwork on the aforementioned streets is part of the Fiscal Year 2025 budget. Additional street improvements planned for this spring/summer under the FY25 budget include Newell Street, Meadow Lane, Daniels Avenue, Valentine Road (following water line replacement), and King Street (following water line replacement).

 

The state will also be repaving South Street (from East/West Housatonic Streets to the Country Club of Pittsfield), First Street (from East Street to Tyler Street), and North Street (from Berkshire Medical Center to the Lanesborough Town Line).

 

The city anticipates beginning road projects for Fiscal Year 2026 later this year, with an announcement to follow once the list is finalized.
