D3 - Hwy 95 in Cambridge: 2026-2027 construction
 Let the improvements begin!
Roadwork on Hwy 95 is about to start, and we're excited to kick things off. Beginning Mon, April 20, we'll launch the first year of a two‑year project to rebuild and improve the highway between Fern St. and Fillmore St. Work will happen in segments over the next two seasons, beginning on the west end at Fern St. and moving east toward Main St. Then in 2027, crews will be back to finish the final segment from west of Main St to east of Fillmore St.
