One-Lane Traffic on Northern Route 7 Through June

MassDOT is working with JHMaxymillian to repair a slope failure on Route 7 (Simonds Road) near the Vermont border. Be alert for one-lane traffic managed with temporary stoplight signals to manage south-bound and north-bound travel.

Crews will begin installing the barrier and signals on Thursday, June 11, 2026. Work will continue for two to three weeks.

Thank you for your patience.
