2023 Project Updates
Greenfield Parkway
Construction started on April 10th and is expected to run 10 to 12 weeks with the first phase ending by July 4, 2023.
During most of the work we will be using detours, sings and flaggers on week days to help get traffic through the construction site safely. Nights and weekends all roads will return to normal. During construction days priority will be given to emergency vehicles, school buses and mail carriers. Residents with a driveway in the closed work areas may have a short delay but the contractor will get you in and out. Sidewalks will remain open as no work is planned for them. For questions please email or call the DPW office or find the Town inspector on site.
