Segment 1. North Main Street from Railroad bridge by Dac Rowe to Stowe Street
Work continues on North Main Street from the railroad bridge towards the downtown core to prepare for new concrete sidewalks. The schedule for concrete depends on weather. Be prepared to be flexible these next few weeks as the work crew progresses by each property. Forms will be in place for newly poured sidewalks.
Residents are asked to communicate with workers if they are blocking a driveway so they can make accommodations. When new concrete is poured, vehicles will need to park off site for several days until the concrete has cured. Parking is available at the municipal office building and library.
Businesses affected will have temporary pedestrian access while the concrete cures.
Landscaping will take place as weather allows.
Stowe Street note:
The current work on lower Stowe Street is a town project although the work crew is the same.
Grading will be May 10 and the first layer of pavement is scheduled to take place beginning May 11 (weather dependent). When grading and paving occurs, the section of lower Stowe Street will be closed for a few hours. Signage will be present to direct traffic.
New concrete sidewalks will be poured in early May on the Senior Center side, also weather dependent.
Segment 2. South Main Street between Stowe Street and Park Street
Forms will be set up for newly poured concrete sidewalks.
The schedule for concrete installation depends on weather.
Residents are asked to communicate with workers if they are blocking a driveway so they can make accommodations. When new concrete is poured, vehicles will need to park off site for several days until the concrete has cured.
