PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The City of Pittsfield shares the following updates of ongoing construction projects:
 
West Street Improvement Project:
Underground utility work including the installation of conduits is underway. During this work, lane closures will occur at various sections along West Street creating temporary detours on neighboring roads. We encourage drivers to seek alternate routes if possible.
 
Fenn Street Project:
Eversource continues their underground utility work on Fenn Street between North Street and Allen Street. This work is expected to continue over the next several weeks. The westbound lane on Fenn Street between Allen Street and North Street remains closed.
 
Sidewalk Repairs:
The sidewalk on Thomson Place will be replaced along the south side of the street from 44 to 100 Thomson Place. During this work, the sidewalk will be closed for pedestrian use. Pedestrians are asked to use the sidewalks on the alternate side of the street while construction is underway. This work is weather dependent and may impact the final
schedule.
 
The schedule for each project is subject to change based upon weather conditions.

Morningside Closed Friday for Flooding Cleanup

Staff Reports
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Morningside Community School will be closed Friday, May 8, because of flooding in the building. 
 
According to a post on the Pittsfield Public Schools' Facebook page, a pipe that was damaged in a student bathroom caused a "large amount of water" to seep into carpets and other areas near the bathroom.
 
The post doesn't say how the pipe was damaged but that the flooding occurred shortly before dismissal on Thursday. 
 
Because of the water damaged, the school will be closed Friday so the affected spaces can be properly cleaned and dried.
 
The post states the school's custodial team will be preparing the building so students and staff can safely return on Monday, May 11, and that additional information will be posted as needed. 
 
All other schools will be open for regularly scheduled classes.
