Road Work Means Delays and Detours In Falmouth This Week

FALMOUTH, MA — Drivers should expect delays and detours along Sandwich Road this week as the town completes paving work after a recent water main installation.

Contractors will be milling and overlaying new asphalt on the road, between Brick Kiln Road and Teaticket Highway, according to a public notice. The work is scheduled from Tuesday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day.

During those hours, through traffic will be limited in the work zone, though residents and local traffic will be able to access the area from both Brick Kiln Road and Teaticket Highway (Route 28).

Emergency vehicles and school buses will also have access through the area. Police will be stationed nearby to assist with traffic flow.

Commercial vehicles will not be allowed to use Trotting Park Road as a detour, the notice said. Instead, large trucks will be directed along a route using Sandwich Road, Oxbow Road, Teaticket Highway, Jones Road and Gifford Street.
