Officials give update on West Springfield paving project ahead of The Big E WEST SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WGGB/WSHM) - In West Springfield, paving operations are underway on Memorial Avenue as crews work to complete the final phase of the reconstruction before The Big E rolls in. Western Mass News was live from Memorial Avenue in West Springfield with more after learning more about the city’s timeline for the project. MassDOT said daytime paving will run through this Friday and finish up on Monday. The $30 million dollar project has been years in the making and still won’t be fully complete until next year. West Springfield Mayor Will Reichelt said although traffic delays are to be expected, the pavement project is in its home stretch. Crews are currently working on the final third section of Memorial Avenue stretching from the Route 147 Memorial Bridge rotary to Union Street. The plan is to complete the major paving before next Wednesday, although upcoming rain could impact that timeline. However, Western Mass News wanted to see how this project could affect The Big E just a few weeks away. City officials like West Springfield Mayor Will Reichelt told us construction will pause during the fair to prevent further issues, “they’ll demobilize and then remobilize after the fair so the road will be paved, the road will be striped. I don’t foresee any issues. You know, drivers got to mind, be patient, there’s going to be traffic, there always is. Find parking as you go in, just be patient and be mindful.” Again, while the roadway will be clear for the fair, the entire project won’t officially wrap up until next year. Curbing and sidewalk work will continue into this fall, with the final coat of pavement slated for 2027. As a reminder, MassDOT is advising drivers to expect delays between 5:30 a.m. and 6 p.m. reduce speeds, and to use extra caution when driving in the area.
