PEABODY — A stretch of the Peabody Independence Greenway will see temporary traffic controls put up around Lowell Street near Interstate 95 beginning Monday, July 8.
Bridge substructure repair work on the I-95 bridge over Lowell Street will take place between 7 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Mondays through Fridays until the repairs are completed, the Massachusetts Department of Transportation said in a statement.
Traffic on I-95 should not be impacted by the work.
The shared use path on the Kristen Crowley Spur Trail, a 3/4-mile stretch of the greenway, will have a reduced width for pedestrians while work is underway, but it will remain open. Signage will guide pedestrians through that section of the trail for the duration of the project.
Drivers on Lowell Street should reduce speed and use caution, MassDOT said. Fencing repairs on the underside of the bridge will require short-term night work on Lowell Street.
More work to rehabilitate the bridge’s joints and to repaint the structure will take place at a later date, MassDOT said.
