GREENFIELD, MA (FRANKLIN COUNTY NOW) — The City of Greenfield has announced that the long-awaited repaving of Main Street between Federal and Conway Streets will begin on Monday.

The project will address the patches of pavement that are a result of utility service work conducted by Berkshire Gas and its contractors.

Milling of the road will take place on Monday, with paving of the westbound side of Main Street on Tuesday. Parking on that side of the street will be blocked off late Sunday night.

Miles Street and Warner Street are also expected to be repaved during the week of October 20th.

MassDOT will pave the eastbound side of Main Street at a later date.

Here is the press release from the City of Greenfield:

The City of Greenfield expects that the westbound side of Main Street between Conway Street and Federal Street will be repaved during the week of October 20, 2025. This repaving project will address inconsistencies in the pavement resulting from utility service work performed by Berkshire Gas and its contractors.

Berkshire Gas’ contractors are planning to mill the road surface on Monday, October 20th, and pave on Tuesday, October 21st. Parking on the westbound side will be blocked beginning late Sunday night. Sidewalks will remain open, and the contractor anticipates that traffic will be maintained in both directions. Access to driveways and side streets will also be maintained. Flaggers and a police detail will be on site to assist drivers.

The eastbound side of Main Street will be repaved by the Massachusetts Department of Transportation at a later date. Miles Street and Warner Street are also expected to be repaved during the week of October 20th.

“I know that the construction occurring downtown this summer has been disruptive,” said Mayor Virginia Desorgher. “Our short construction season in New England makes these projects particularly challenging, and I appreciate the patience of our community members and business owners as Berkshire Gas performed necessary work on its service lines.”
