Fenn Street In Pittsfield Down To One Lane For Six Weeks

Due to underground utility work planned by Eversource, a temporary traffic pattern change will be in place beginning on Monday, March 30 on Fenn Street.

Starting on Monday, the westbound lane of Fenn Street, between Allen Street and North Street, will be closed to all vehicles while this work is underway. Eastbound traffic, from North Street to Fenn Street, will remain open.

This temporary traffic pattern will be in place for approximately six weeks, pending no unexpected delays due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances. Additional updates will be shared as they become available.

The plan for more Pittsfield street repair:

Once the blacktop plants open and make asphalt available for use, the Highway Division and hired contractor will use asphalt from the blacktop plants to patch potholesthat will last longerterm.

The city utilizes three blacktop plants in the area, Pittsfield, Lenoxdale and West Sand Lake, NY. The West Sand Lake plant is expected to open late March while the Pittsfield and Lenoxdale plants have anticipated opening dates in mid-April.

During this phase, patching work will be conducted every weekday as weather conditions allow. More streets will be covered simultaneously as asphalt will be more readily available. The city will continue to address potholes on main roads, secondary and neighborhood streets. Coordination of this work will also include road work projects we have planned for 2026.

Residents are asked to report potholes via the PittSMART online reporting system so we can efficiently keep track of our progress as we continue this work.
