Page 16 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, AUGUST 15, 2025 Overnight lane closure scheduled for American Legion Highway project Partial lane closure at Bell Circle in Revere through October; community outreach program to continue N ational Grid is set to begin the fi nal phase of its American Legion Highway underground infrastructure upgrade at Bell Circle in Revere to help enhance the reliability of energy delivery for over 30,000 customers across Revere, Malden, Everett and Winthrop. The project has been underway for the past two construction seasons and involves upgrading the underground gas main that serves these communities. In coordination with the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) and the City of Revere, National Grid will begin the fi nal installation phase at Bell Circle. To complete this critical work safely, contractors will work a 12-hour, overnight schedule. During overnight work hours, a partial lane closure will be implemented at the northern end of Bell Circle. The partial lane closure is in place weekly, Sunday through Friday nights, from Sunday, August 10, through Saturday, October 25 during the overnight hours from 9:00 p.m. to 9:00 a.m. the following morning. The aff ected lane will be restored to support regular traffi c between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m., Sunday through Friday. This overnight closure will allow contractors to install the remaining gas main while minimizing disruptions to traffi c. Due to the Labor Day holiday, no work will take place from Friday, August 29 through 9:00 p.m. Tuesday, September 2. Further details regarding traffic management in and around this work zone will be provided on the project’s website, as well as biweekly schedule updates.
