"North Attleborough Begins Partial Demolition of Dangerous Mill Building, Extends Traffic Detour"

The partial demolition of the Webster Mill building in North Attleborough, Massachusetts is set to begin on Monday, prompting an extended traffic detour on Broadway between Richards Avenue and Bank Street. The three-story section of the building closest to Broadway is scheduled to be demolished on Monday and Tuesday due to structural unsafety caused by recent storms and a prior roof collapse. Town officials have extended the detour route and implemented road closures to ensure public safety during the demolition process, and are working with local and state partners to mitigate health and safety concerns.

Little Italy Landmark Building Demolished After Partial Collapse

The historic building in Little Italy that once housed the oldest cheese shop in the United States, Alleva Dairy, will be demolished after a partial wall collapse due to illegal construction work without permits or approved engineering plans. The Department of Buildings has deemed the building an imminent hazard to the public and ordered its emergency demolition, citing significant destabilization caused by the unauthorized construction. The building's owners are preparing for the demolition, and this comes after Alleva Dairy was forced to close its doors last year due to financial struggles and court battles.
