Starting the second week in March the Town will be undertaking work at Memorial Park related to drainage and traffic signal improvements in the area. This will entail closing the Park and adjacent Great Road sidewalk until the work is complete, likely in October. Periodically the Narrow Gauge Rail Trail in the vicinity of the Park will be closed and detoured for short periods.

The work in the Park will include tree removal, temporary relocation and restoration of monuments, installation of an underground drainage infiltration system, regrading, and replanting. The traffic signal work will include the placement of traffic signals at the new Fire Station driveway at 139 The Great Road, and at the intersection of The Great Road/Bacon Road/ Hillside Avenue with associated pedestrian signal upgrades.

All questions can be directed to the Bedford Public Works Department at 781-275-7605.
