🚧 Downtown Square Traffic Reminder 🚧
The City of Pittsfield would like to apologize for any inconvenience and confusion the downtown square construction has caused. We understand the changes have been an adjustment, and we truly appreciate your patience as this important project moves forward.
Our construction crews are doing everything they can to keep roads open and accessible while safely completing the work. We have attached a map to this post showing the new and permanent direction of traffic around the square.
Please remember that the streets around the square are one lane and one way.
⚠️ Please slow down, use caution, and pay close attention to all posted traffic signs.
Although the project is not yet complete and the pavement markings have not been updated, the traffic pattern is:
➡️ Monroe Street – One lane, one way northbound from Washington Street to Jefferson Street.
⬅️ Adams Street – One lane, one way westbound from Jackson Street to Memorial Street.
⬇️ Madison Street – One lane, one way southbound from Jefferson Street to Washington Street.
Once construction is completed this fall, and the street marking are completed navigating the square will become much easier. The new angled parking layout will provide better parking while allowing the one-way traffic lanes to function more efficiently, making the streets feel less congested.
Thank you for your continued patience and cooperation as we work to improve our downtown square for everyone.
