About this Page

As our department works to improve and maintain Dedham's roadways, we also try to minimize disruptions caused by construction. The Construction Updates section below will be updated to keep everyone informed of construction project locations and estimated timelines.

While we will do our best to keep this page as accurate as possible, please be advised that the schedule of construction projects may change as road construction timelines are subject to a range of external factors, including weather, safety, contractor availability, design complications, and funding. 

If you can’t find a project in the news feed below or have questions or concerns, please contact Joe Flanagan at (781) 751-9377 or jflanagan@dedham-ma.gov.
