The good news is the work from Adams to Squantum is done and they will be repaving the road. The bad news is that there is plenty of work left to do going north on Adams through Milton Village, Lower Mills, and stretching west on Washington and River Streets as well as east on Adams past the Dunkin Donuts. “It won’t be pretty,” according to MWRA representative Mike Hornbrook.
