Traffic lanes to shift near Balls Bend
Traffic lanes near the Route 8 and Park Road intersections on Route 228 in Middlesex will change beginning March 22 due to continued work on the Balls Bend Safety Improvement Project.
Contractor Independence Excavating will be resetting the barrier on the edge of Route 228 Eastbound and moving it to the shoulder against the existing white line from Park Road East toward Route 8.
The barrier will extend into the current turning lanes, leaving a dedicated left turn lane and a left/through/right turn lane in the eastbound direction. Westbound will remain one lane.
This work will facilitate the excavation, drainage and pavement to widen the current intersection to the south. The update may slow traffic in this area.
