Route 2 exit to be closed
The Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDot) has announced that the Route 2 westbound exit to I-495 northbound ramp, Exit 40 B, will be closed for the next four months to facilitate construction. A signed detour using the Route 2/Taylor Street interchange (Exit 39) will be in place for motorists: drivers needing to use the restricted Route 2 westbound ramp will be directed to continue west on Route 2 to Exit 39 to reverse direction to follow Route 2 eastbound and then use Exit 40B to access I-495 northbound.

Girl Scout registration for girls in grades kindergarten through 12 will take place at the Harvard Congregational Church Tuesday, May 26, from 6:30 to 8 p.m. and Thursday, June 4, from 3:15 to 4:30 p.m. Scouting offers girls the chance to hike, camp, make crafts, hang out with friends, go on field and overnight trips—all the while serving the community, developing confidence, and building leadership skills.
