LEVERETT, MA (FRANKLIN COUNTY NOW) — The Dudleyville Road Drainage Improvement Project may well be completed before the end of this year.
The project aims to replace the drainage system under the road and the swales that go along the road to improve water drainage on the roadway. This is project of multiple phases for Dudleyville Road, which in the end, will result in a completely rebuilt road.
The town has received a $1 million grant from the state and is preparing to send the project out to bid this month with the hopes of breaking ground in October and completing work on this drainage project by mid-December.
When work gets underway, the road will be closed to through traffic during working hours and reopened each evening. The town noted that residents may need to access their properties via a detour on Montague Road in Shutesbury during the day.
