National Grid Utility Upgrades
- In April 2020, National Grid began necessary upgrades to utility infrastructure on Main Street in Reading.
- While the utility upgrades are not part of MassDOT's Route 28 Resurfacing and Road Diet Pilot project, National Grid and MassDOT are working closely to coordinate the two projects.
- Utility work is expected to be completed in September 2020.
- For more information about the National Grid utility upgrades, please view the project info sheet below under Additional Resources.
