Drivers may encounter traffic detours on Atlantic Avenue during the next three weeks as work restarts on the reconstruction project after a winter hiatus.

Construction resumed on Monday, March 18, as crews from P.A. Landers began raising manhole covers along the entire stretch of the road. Work on new drainage at the intersection of Montana Avenue (across from the entrance to Gunrock Beach) also is planned during the next two to three weeks.

According to the Hull Department of Public Works, traffic may be detoured periodically between 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. each day between School Street and Jerusalem Road; however, pedestrians, bicyclists, school buses, and emergency vehicles still will be able to get through the work zone. Access to homes, businesses, and town hall also will be uninterrupted.

During the winter, utilities relocated utility poles. During the next several months, project work will include installation of granite curbs, paving of sidewalks and the final road surface, installation of new signs, and line painting.

The work is expected to be complete by July.

Updates are available on the town’s website, www.town.hull.ma.us, or by contacting Joe Stigliani at jstigliani@town.hull.ma.us or the DPW, 781-925-0900.
