Barnstable Drainage Improvements To Alter Traffic Patterns

BARNSTABLE, MA — Drainage improvements are coming this week on a local Barnstable road, altering traffic patterns this week.

Barnstable Department of Public Works (DPW) will begin performing drainage improvements on Hyannis-Barnstable Road, on the south side of the intersection with Route 6A starting on Tuesday.

The improvements include modifications to existing drainage systems and the installation of additional new leaching structures, officials said. As a result, localized traffic will be reduced to a single-lane alternating.

These drainage modifications will improve the stormwater collection system in this area, officials said.

Work is expected to be completed within one week, weather permitting.

Police details will be available to assist in directing traffic. Below is an illustration of the area affected by the work:
