PAVING to Disrupt Downtown Gardner Traffic on Thursday, September 19, 2024
Beginning at 6am and continuing throughout the entire day paving work is taking place from Main Street near the Walgreen’s, CVS area by Willow Street all the way to the rotary behind Hannaford Supermarket. They are starting early. Sunrise is about 6:30am. Gardner City Hall advises, “Please plan on delays and detours.”
Accessing Walgreen’s, CVS, Advanced Auto Parts, and more: Use Derby Drive. An easy way is to go down West Lynde Street and take a right turn on to Derby Drive. When coming back from your destination, an easy way is to go back on Derby Drive and take a right just after the library.
Later access to Downtown: “The Public Works Dept., is hoping to have some accessibility to Main St. heading into downtown at some point during the day.“
Editorial Comment: DPW officially stands for Department of Public Works, but it also stands for “Dedicated People who are Wonderful.”
