Cambridge Construction Moratorium Lifted

Press release from the City of Cambridge:

March 19, 2021

The Department of Public Works winter moratorium on excavations in the public right of way ends on March 22, 2021 at 7:00am. Contractors may apply for Excavation Permits on the City’s permitting portal at https://cambridgema.viewpointcloud.com/. State and City requirements for construction during Covid-19 are still in effect and must be followed by all contractors.

Contractors are required to have a Covid-19 Control plan on file with DPW in order to apply for permits. If there have been any changes to a previously submitted Covid-19 Control Plan, you must re-submit the plan to DPW. This is especially important if the person identified as the Covid-19 officer has changed. Covid-19 Control Plans may be submitted to the City’s permitting portal.

Certain large projects will be required to attend the DPW’s weekly construction coordination meeting at 9:00am on Monday mornings. These meetings will be held remotely beginning April 5, 2021. To view meeting minutes that include updates on construction projects in the City, please click here.
