Roads to Be Repaved in the South End This Summer

Find out if your street will be under construction this summer.

Attention folks: There's summer construction ahead for many South End streets. 

The city of Boston announced this week they plan resurface 45 miles of road as well as 1,400 pedestrian ramps, with 14 of them in the South End area, including Worcester Square, East Brookline Street, and Union Park. 

“Our residents deserve the best roads and sidewalks in their neighborhoods. Not only are clean and safe passages a matter of public safety, they also help support our small businesses,” Mayor Menino said in a statement. “We’re looking forward to our best year yet in getting our roadways and pedestrian ramps ready for another great summer in Boston.”

Proposed work for 2013 will exceed the amount of work conducted in 2012, which was the most "productive" construction season in the last decade according to Menino's office.

The Public Works Department will spend a total of $13.75 million to resurfacing roads in 2013, according to Menino's office. Of that money, Menino's office said $10 million was freed up from the street cut account, which collects roadway restoration fees through the city permitting process.
