Select Board approves temporary road closures for water department and Eversource projects
Summary
The Select Board approved a two‑day closure for High Street at Pleasant Street for water work (Aug 19–20) and authorized a closure window for an Eversource pipeline project later this summer, with traffic and notification plans to be coordinated by public safety.
The Select Board voted July 28 to approve temporary road closures requested by the Uxbridge Water Department and Eversource. The water department closure covers High Street at Pleasant Street on Aug. 19–20 to allow digging and repair work; the department will notify affected residents. An Eversource project to replace a gas line at Route 16 and Route 122 may require closures between late August and early September, with provisions for night work and close coordination with public safety.
Select Board members said Lieutenant Burke has reviewed the traffic plans and that the town will monitor the Eversource work closely to minimize disruption.
Next step: Public safety and the contractors will coordinate signage and resident notifications ahead of scheduled closures.
