PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The city of Pittsfield's paving list for 2023 is now available on the city's website, cityofpittsfield.org.
 
The document, "2023 Road Work Program," can be accessed on the Department of Public Services page or by clicking here.
 
Bidding for the contracted work is expected to begin in April, with paving slated to start late May.
 
Public Services and Utilities Commissioner Ricardo Morales said the list incorporates several factors.
 
"Our engineering office used the established asset management evaluation system to compile this list. The process included a review of the pavement condition index which reflects the amount and level of distress for each road. Then, each road was scored into a pavement condition index. We also included input from ward councilors and accounted for existing and future projects as well as Berkshire Gas and Eversource road work plans," Morales said.

Pittsfield Road Cut Moratorium

PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The city's annual city road cut moratorium will be in effect from Nov. 29, 2024 to March 15, 2025. 
 
The road cut moratorium is implemented annually, as a precautionary measure, to ensure roads are kept clear of construction work during snow events and to limit the cuts in roads that are filled with temporary patches while material is unavailable.
 
During this period, steel plates are not to be used to cover open excavations in roads. Also, the Department of Public Services and Utilities will not be issuing the following permits:
 
• General Permit
• Sewer Public Utility Connection Permit
• Stormwater Public Utility Connection Permit
• Water Public Utility Connection Permit
• Trench Permit
 
Limited exceptions will be made for emergency work that is determined to be an immediate threat to the health or safety of a property or its occupants.
