Medford residents and visitors, mark your calendars and plan your routes accordingly as the city is set to undergo a series of road and sidewalk closures starting tomorrow that will run through May 16, according to a notice from the City of Medford's official website.

Keene Way Drive, with J & A Concrete crews handling storm improvements from tomorrow to May 9, detours and traffic controls will be in place. Similarly, between tomorrow and May 9, 3DC crews will replace storm inlets on S. Groveland Avenue at E. Main Street, causing road closures. Work from COM Surface crews on pavement repairs will lead to closures on Angelcrest Drive from Highcrest Drive to Cloudcrest Drive tomorrow and on Tuesday, and another round on Monterey Drive from San Marcos Drive to Evenbrook Drive between April 30 and May 1.
Announced lane closures include several streets where SAK crews will be busy performing storm line rehabilitation from tomorrow to May 2; among them, Alma Drive, Gould Avenue, and Whittle Avenue will see traffic controls in place.
