Road Construction is Coming to Wayland

Residents and passers-through can expect some road changes at and near one of Wayland's main intersections in the coming days.

Director of Highway Operations Stephen Kadlik explained the following work is expected to take place between April 24 and May 4 near the intersection of Route 20 and Route 27.

The work is in preparation of widening the intersection as planned in conjunction with the Wayland Town Center project.

- NSTAR must move 26 utility poles, mostly along Route 20. A public hearing, which is required by law, will address the move and will take place at the April 30 Board of Selectmen meeting.

- Center line layout, or painting, will take place on Route 27.

- Installation of construction fencing, signs and tree protection will occur.

- The granite posts and fence rails at First Parish, on the corner of Routes 20 and 27, will be relocated to allow for the widening.

Kadlik said he expects the traffic disruption for this round of construction to be minimal as most of it will occur along the sides of the road.

Patch will continue to update construction activities as we receive information.
