Weather has continued to push this project back.  Originally slated to pave Main Street in Lee yesterday, rain forced the project to be put on hold until after midnight tonight.

There will be no overnight parking allowed downtown for the next couple of days as Palmer Paving will be paving Main Street and continuing work on Housatonic Street, Center Street, East Center Street and Columbia Street.

Other work continues in neighboring cities and towns.  In Pittsfield the Street Improvement Project continues through Friday the 18th according to a post on the City of Pittsfield Facebook page. The project includes curb removal on Hawthorne Ave, Oxford Street, Brenton Terrace, Cadwell Road, Velma Ave, Westview Road, Scott Drive and Buel Street.  Parking is prohibited between 7am and 5pm on those city streets.  The rain yesterday may cause some delays in the project’s completion.

The Mass Pike has a number of projects and lane shifts between the Lee exit to the Westfield exit, both west and east bound.  The work is not causing delays; however, drivers need to slow to the posted speed limits for the safety of the driver and the DOT crew working the roadways.  In the areas of lane shifts the barriers leave a narrow lane between the drivable highway lane and the work site the construction and repairs are underway.  There is very little room for error.  Highway work is very dangerous and even without any of the construction sites involved, there has been an uptick in accidents and fatalities on the Mass Turnpike this year.

You can keep track of DOT projects on the DOT website going through Mass.Gov site.

LOOK: Here are the 50 best beach towns in America

Every beach town has its share of pluses and minuses, which got us thinking about what makes a beach town the best one to live in. To find out, Stacker consulted data from WalletHub, released June 17, 2020, that compares U.S. beach towns. Ratings are based on six categories: affordability, weather, safety, economy, education and health, and quality of life. The cities ranged in population from 10,000 to 150,000, but they had to have at least one local beach listed on TripAdvisor. Read the full methodology here. From those rankings, we selected the top 50. Readers who live in California and Florida will be unsurprised to learn that many of towns featured here are in one of those two states.

Keep reading to see if your favorite beach town made the cut.

Stacker used data from the 2020 County Health Rankings to rank every state's average life expectancy from lowest to highest. The 2020 County Health Rankings values were calculated using mortality counts from the 2016-2018 National Center for Health Statistics. The U.S. Census 2019 American Community Survey and America's Health Rankings Senior Report 2019 data were also used to provide demographics on the senior population of each state and the state's rank on senior health care, respectively.
