New traffic patterns in East Templeton - what motorists need to know

A new roundabout in Templeton means drivers should be aware of some new traffic patterns in town.

The East Templeton Rotary Project at the intersection of Patriots Road, South Main Street, North Main Street and Gardner Road has entered its next phase. Police are urging residents to take note of the new layout and traffic directions in the area.

A section of Gardner Road (Rte. 101) will remain closed to traffic until further notice, according to officials. Motorists are being urged to drive with caution in the area and to expect possible delays as work continues.

Paving on the $2.5 million MassDOT project, which is being overseen by AF Amorello and Sons, was recently completed.

The project is expected to be finished in the fall.
