🚧 Eversource Gas Work on Hollis Street (Route 126)

Eversource Gas will begin lining its gas main under the railroad tracks on Hollis Street on Wednesday, September 2 at 9 a.m.

Traffic will be one-way alternating on Hollis St at the railroad tracks just north of Waushakum Street.

The current work schedule is 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Because the lining process takes longer than a typical pipe installation, work may continue later than usual and possibly through the rest of the week. Once the crew begins, they will have a better idea of the timeline going forward.

🌳 Notice of Tree Pruning

The City of Framingham Department of Public Works will be trimming trees and shrubs that overhang the City’s public right-of-way in neighborhoods throughout Framingham.

📅 Pruning Schedule: August 31 through September 11, 2026
🕖 Hours of Work: 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Pruning helps promote safer, healthier trees and reduces obstructions to street signs, lighting, fire hydrants, sidewalks, vehicles, and roadways. It also helps minimize hazards from dead or damaged limbs.

Established trees will be pruned using industry-standard techniques to maintain tree health and structural integrity while ensuring adequate clearance for safety. All pruning conducted by the City of Framingham is completed or overseen by certified arborists.

Trees that are decayed, insect-infested, damaged, or structurally weak may need to be removed. All debris from the pruning program will be cleared and removed.
