Roadwork Ahead: Summer 2024
May 30, 2024
• As summer approaches, two big road projects are ahead for the Needham DPW, which may get traffic moving a little bit differently.
In their report to the Select Board on May 28th, the Needham DPW highlighted two summer projects that have them reimagining the roads in Needham, one on a neighborhood street, and the other on a more major roadway. Both of them hope to provide more amenities to the road, create better conditions, and to make them safer for all who share the road. Municipal Producer Yuxiao Yuan looks at what lies ahead on Brewster Road and Webster Street.
