Description

The Work Projects Administration (W.P.A.) reconstructed Framingham’s Nipmuc Road in 1940. Town Report, 1940:

Portions of Nipmuc Road between Wood Avenue and Row Street had settled materially because of the poor foundation conditions existing there and the sewer, drain and water pipes in the same went down with the street surface. These pipes were all relaid on wood pile and concrete slab foundations, and the street was rebuilt and restored to its original grade.
