Road Construction Once Again Delays Lexington School Bus Routes
It was another messy start to the work- and school-week, thanks to ongoing Massachusetts Avenue road work.
LEXINGTON, MA -- For the second time in three weeks, some Lexington Public Schools students had the start of their school week delayed by road construction. The district reported that Buses 1, 7 and 17 were stuck in traffic and running late, while Bus 14 didn't make it to its first stop until well after 7 am.
Buses using Mass. Ave. in the vicinity of Pleasant St. are delayed. Reports are that work on the rotary has traffic almost stopped.
