Latin Way Sidewalk Improvements

June 28, 2024

Overview

Starting Monday, July 1, Facilities will begin work on improving the sidewalks on Latin Way. This includes removing and replacing concrete walks, bricks, and curbing on both sidewalks from Professors Row to the intersection of Talbot Avenue.

Facilities will demo and pour new concrete on the Metcalf side of Latin Way first, leaving the sidewalk on the Campus Center side open for pedestrians. Once the Metcalf side is complete, work will start on the Campus Center side.

Estimated Timeframe

July 1-August 16, 2024 (6-7 weeks)

Parking

Street parking in this section of Latin Way will be impacted during construction. For alternative parking, please see the Medford/Somerville campus parking map.

Traffic

Latin Way will remain open at the start of this work, but there could be changes to road traffic as the project progresses. Updates will be communicated in the weekly Monday Minute email and posted on this webpage.

Questions? Please contact Henry Puza, facilities grounds manager.
