On the afternoon of Friday, March 15, 2024, a press release was issued by the City of Pittsfield and the Mayor’s Office. It advises residents of upcoming traffic disruptions from Monday, March 18th through at least May 6th on First and North Street, stretching between Abbott and Burbank Street. These delays are expected from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.
The project, overseen by the Massachusetts Department of Transportation, aims to enhance intersections and traffic signals near Berkshire Medical Center. Berkshire Health Systems has also issued a statement regarding these adjustments, assuring that all BMC and Medical Arts Complex parking lots will stay operational throughout construction, albeit with occasional detours.
Drivers are encouraged to exercise patience in the affected area, adhering to all signage and detour instructions. The public is encouraged to visit www.berkshirehealthsystems.org for more information on how to access BMC and Medical Arts Complex buildings throughout this process.
