Expect Detours During North Main/Oakland Street Repaving

From the Town of Mansfield:

The North Main/Oakland Street Improvements Project is scheduled for paving Oct.5-7.

North Main/Oakland Street will remain open up to Mansfield Avenue to one-way (northbound) traffic during paving operations. This project includes reconstruction of North Main /Oakland Street from Crocker Street to Mansfield Avenue, Crocker Street from the Train Station to North Main Street, and Pratt Street from North Main Street to Fuller Place and the repaving of Mansfield Avenue.

The train station will remain accessible at all times, but during some paving operations, Mansfield Avenue will be used as two-way, and during paving of Mansfield Avenue; Crocker Street will be used as a two-way. Please see attached map for detours. Trucks and through traffic are being detoured around Maple Street to Franklin Street. Local automobile traffic may use an alternate detour through Shields Street to Hope Street.

In order to minimize traffic in the construction area, we encourage commuters coming in from Route 106 and from the south to use the alternative train station drop off in the resident parking lot in front of 214 Rumford Avenue, as shown on detour map.

Businesses in the area are open if anyone has a problem getting to a local destination; please ask one of the Police Detail Officers for assistance.

Please note that only Mansfield Avenue will be finish paved, the balance of the area is full depth construction and paving includes base and binder to be followed by the installation of curbing, sidewalks, street lights and landscaping.

The final paving will be scheduled at a later date.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Please be aware that the construction schedule is subject to change depending on weather conditions. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Rick Alves, Town Engineer/Assistant DPW Director at ralves@mansfieldma.com or Lee Azinheira, DPW Director at lazinheira@mansfieldma.com.
