Route 228 Tree Status

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

August 4, 2008

Contact: Joseph Stigliani, Superintendent
781-741-1430

The Town of Hingham Department of Public Works reports that they have received a number of calls concerning the trees along Route 228. According to the Public Works Department, the trees marked with orange flagging are trees that must be removed for the repair and resurfacing of the southerly portion of Route 228. Trees marked with blue flagging, as well as those wrapped with burlap to protect them during construction, are not going to be removed as part of the project.

The Town has yet to receive a construction schedule from T. L. Edwards, the company that was awarded the contract for this project by Mass. Highway. However, once provided with an actual schedule, the Town will issue periodic press releases and post updates and progress reports on the Town’s website which can be accessed at www.hingham-ma.gov.

For more information or if you have specific questions call the Department of Public Works at 781-741-1430.
