Construction Update Pearl Street Paving Project

The Ayer Department of Public Works will be repaving Pearl Street, between Groton Street and Taft Street. The work will involve:

  • Existing pavement will be pulverized and regraded
  • Adjusting manholes and catch basin structures
  • Installing a leveling pavement
  • Installing asphalt curb
  • Installing final pavement
  • Replacing the existing sidewalk on the east side of the road up to Howard Street

Work will begin on Wednesday, August 28 and will continue through next week. Traffic will be limited to one lane during construction hours and there will be some delays. Police officers will be on site to direct traffic.  Please use alternative routes and drive with caution until the work is completed.

When final paving is being done next week, resident access will be limited to allow the pavement to set-up (about 2 hours). We will provide another notice to allow residents to plan during this phase of work.

The Ayer DPW appreciates your cooperation during this important infrastructure project. If you have any questions, please call the Ayer DPW at 978-772-8240 (7:30 to 3:30) or email DPW@ayer.ma.us.
