Beverly's Cabot Street Paving Continues Into Tuesday

BEVERLY, MA — Paving work at the Cabot Street/Dodge Street/County Way intersection that closed lanes and caused detours on Monday continued into Tuesday.

Beverly Mayor Mike Cahill said the contractors made "good progress" on Monday, but had to come back another day to finish the job for the season.

Businesses in the area remain open during the road work, but delays should be expected traveling in the area.

"While the intersection project will not be completed until next year, in the meantime this paving will ensure a good quality road surface throughout the winter," Cahill said.

Here are the detours that were in place for Monday:

• Cabot Street northbound traffic, heading toward Dodge Street, will continue straight on Cabot Street, right onto Conant Street and continue toward Dodge Street.
• McKay Street northbound traffic will be detoured right onto Balch Street and continue to Cabot Street.
• Dodge Street southbound traffic will continue straight onto County Way, left onto McKay Street, left onto Balch Street, and continue to Cabot Street.
• Cabot Street southbound traffic will be detoured right onto Tremont Street, left onto Ellsworth Street, right onto County Way, left onto McKay Street, left onto Balch Street and back to Cabot Street.
• Longmeadow Road traffic, heading toward Cabot Street, will be detoured onto Sonning Road, right onto Longview Drive and continue to Cabot Street.

The work is being conducted as part of a $6.3 million project for intersection improvements and related work along on this section of Cabot Street.
