Nighttime Construction Advisory - Medford
Beginning the evening of Monday, December 18th, and continuing through Thursday, December 21st, nighttime construction work is anticipated between the hours of 11:30 PM (after the last train passes) and 6:00 AM the following morning. The approximate location of this activity will run from the College Avenue Bridge to the Harvard Street Bridge along the Lowell Commuter Rail right of way in Medford.
The purpose of this work is to allow for the leveling of newly installed track. The primary machinery involved in this process is a leveling device which rides slowly along the rails while making fine-tuned adjustments to the track grade and alignment. Occasionally, trucks supporting the leveling process may trigger audible back-up alarms.
