D3 - Hwy 95 in Cambridge: 2026-2027 construction
 Detour change begins Thu, June 25
As you know, we had anticipated reopening Hwy 95 between Fern St. and Dellwood St. in late July, with work then shifting west of Main Street. Unfortunately, delays in the delivery of signal-system components require the contractor to adjust the schedule. For safety, the closure will remain in place and extend west to Main St. through mid-October.
What to expect
Through traffic:
-
Hwy 95 closed between Fern St. and Main St. through mid-October
-
DETOUR: Second Ave. SW, Dellwood St., 11th Ave. SE and Garfield St. S

Local traffic:
- Access will remain open for residents, businesses and visitors within the work zone. Temporary hard closures may occur while crews work on underground utilities.
- Enter and exit as close to your destination as possible, follow posted signs and stay out of barricaded areas.
- Alternate entrances or side streets may be needed.
- North/south cross‑traffic will be able to use Fern St. or Dellwood St. as well as Cypress St. or Birch St.
- Hwy 95 cross traffic is expected to reopen permanently at Fern St. and Dellwood St. in late July.
Thanks for your patience
We recognize this is different from what we originally communicated. As with many construction projects, schedules can shift when key materials arrive later than expected, and we adjust our plans to keep the project moving safely and efficiently. We’ll continue to keep you updated as work progresses.
We appreciate your patience and flexibility.
 Crews place large storm sewer sections that will improve underground roadway drainage.
