Sewer-Related Road Closures | Updated November 29, 2023:

Location 1 (Route 28): Water installation, within Route 28, will continue between the hours of 8:15AM and 5:00PM, weather permitting.

Work is contained on Route 28, from Pitchers Way to Bearses Way and will result in a single direction detour of eastbound traffic, headed into Hyannis. Westbound traffic will be maintained.

Location 2 (Phinney’s Lane): The Town’s contractor will return to Phinney’s Lane to complete remaining sewer installation, identified as part of the Route 28 East Sewer Expansion Project. Active construction is anticipated to begin as early as Thursday, November 30, 2023, between the hours of 7:00AM and 5:00PM, and will require a small portion of Phinney’s Lane to be closed to thru traffic, from Great Marsh Road to Strawberry Hill Road. Emergency access and resident access will be maintained.

This work will not impact the recently paved sections of Phinney’s Lane, in which sewer was installed as part of the completed Strawberry Hill Road Sewer Expansion Project.

Motorists should expect delays. As always, please slow down and use extreme caution when traveling through the road construction areas and follow posted safety and detour signs.

Anticipated Road Work | Updated November 27, 2023:

Location 3: Driveway Apron and Shoulder Restoration. The Town’s contractor will be completing driveway apron and shoulder restoration along the sewer service riser project route. As a result, areas of traffic on Strawberry Hill Road and Craigville Beach Road will be reduced to a single-lane alternating within the vicinity of the construction crews.

As always, please slow down and use extreme caution when traveling through road construction areas, and follow posted safety, detour signs, and onsite traffic control.
