updated 7/11/19: No parking 7 am to 4 pm on Summer Street from Melcher to West Service Road Bridge through Saturday, July 13, 2019.
Watch out for parking restrictions (orange cones) over the next couple of weeks as road paving continues. Cars parked in posted areas will be towed.
Boston Public Works is entering into the last major task of the Summer Street Improvements project. A project years in the planning under the leadership of Jonathan Greeley at the Boston Planning & Development Agency and under implementation by Public Works since April 2018. The project area is Summer Street from Melcher Street to West Service Road Bridge (towards the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center).
What to expect?
The paving of Summer Street is scheduled to start this week and you can expect restricted street parking.
Overnight milling begins Tuesday, July 9th at 8 pm until 6 am on Wednesday, July 10, 2019. Milling removes the first couple inches of asphalt. Typically this process takes 2 days; however, overnight work should allow milling to be completed in one night. The remaining asphalt will be lower than the manhole covers, and the surface of the road will feel grooved.

Once the milling operation is completed, the casting adjustments and prep for the new pavement should be completed in a week.
DeRoma Construction will then ensure that manhole covers are level with the new asphalt layer. This is often the most time intensive and loudest part of the resurfacing job. The areas beneath the manholes sometimes need to be excavated and rebuilt.
After the new asphalt is installed, the new pavement markings/stripping will be installed within (1) week.
There will probably be some adjustments to the traffic signals and other features, but they should be minor.
