Lynbrook Road water main rehabilitation NOI
The Department of Public Works submitted a Notice of Intent to rehabilitate an aging water main running from Main Street through an easement along Interstate 495 to Lynbrook Road and Lovers Lane. Rather than open trench excavation through wetland areas, the project will use a cured-in-place pipe structural lining within the existing 12-inch asbestos-cement pipe.
- Project limits stretch between Route 30 (Main Street) and Lovers Lane along Lynbrook Road.
- Work in the buffer zone is limited to 280 square feet of excavation across temporary access pits spaced roughly 400 feet apart.
- Lynbrook Road is technically a state highway, and the town is coordinating the project ahead of MassDOT repaving and transferring the road to the town.
- The commission consultant requested clarifying details on dewatering protocols, erosion barriers, and perennial stream distances.
- The hearing was continued to allow the applicant to provide revised plans and construction details.
Outcome: Hearing continued to April 2, 2026 at 7:00 PM.
