Boston Church Road Closes to Through Traffic June 29 for a Months-Long Reconstruction in Milton

Drivers in north Milton will need a new route for the rest of the year: Boston Church Road is closing to through traffic on June 29 for a major reconstruction expected to last until the end of December.

What Happened

According to the Town of Milton, as reported by FM101 Milton Now, Boston Church Road will be closed to through traffic between James Snow Parkway and 5 Side Road beginning June 29, with the closure expected to remain in place until December 31. The project transforms the existing rural roadway into an urban corridor to support future employment growth in the area.

The Town says the work includes new curbs and gutters, sidewalks, boulevards, road widening, and a complete reconstruction of the existing asphalt surface. Crews will also restore existing ditches and culverts and rebuild portions of residential driveways affected by the widening. The upgrades are tied to the planned development of new employment lands on both the east and west sides of the road.
