Road moratorium

You can also review which roadways are in a moratorium. This includes roads that have received full-width pavement treatment (reclaim, mill, overlay, etc). The road moratorium term is five full years after the year of construction. Excavation within streets under moratorium for any reason is prohibited. If a project involves a road currently under a moratorium, appeals should be made in writing to the Wakefield Town Engineer at 1 Lafayette Street, Wakefield, MA 01880
