Concord Warns Drivers Of Roadwork On Four Streets This Week

Town officials are advising residents of a week of continued roadwork on four well-traveled corridors, with crews working on Old Bedford Road, Bedford Street, Lowell Road and Maple Street from Monday, Aug. 31 through Friday, Sept. 4.

TOWN HALL

The town's News Flash advisory gives no additional detail on lane closures or detour routes beyond the Aug. 31-Sept. 4 window, but flags the four-street project as an active disruption for commuters this week. The advisory follows a separate, now-concluded closure notice for Spencer Brook Road issued earlier this summer, part of a broader stretch of seasonal construction work across town.
