Final Night of Revere Street Paving Operations in Winthrop
Commuters traveling between Revere and Winthrop should prepare for traffic delays as Winthrop concludes its overnight paving on Revere Street this week. Work is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, July 22, and wrap up by 7 a.m. on Thursday.
To minimize daytime disruption for local commerce, heavy construction on this major thoroughfare is strictly limited to overnight hours. However, drivers should expect significant delays and localized detours during the active paving windows.
Police details and signage will actively direct traffic throughout the work zone. Authorities strongly advise that all motorists seek alternate routes until the project is successfully completed. Due to inclement weather, this schedule may be subject to change. Check the DPW’s website for the most up to date information.
Monthly Street Sweeping Scheduled for Next Week
Winthrop’s Department of Public Works will conduct its monthly street sweeping operations next week, running from Monday, July 27 through Friday, July 31. The town conducts these cleanings during the last full week of each month from April through October.
Sweepers will be operating between 7:00 AM and 4:00 PM, coordinating with the day of a street’s regular trash collection.
Residents are reminded that town ordinance strictly prohibits parking in a manner that impedes the street sweeper’s path. Violations carry a $40 fine, and vehicles left in the way can be towed at the owner’s expense.
