Mass DOT will be getting back to road and bridge work along the Mass Pike. And a lot of the road work will definitely take place in some Berkshire County towns.

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. .
