Main Street Construction Update | Sept. 25-Oct. 3
Construction activities are ongoing weekdays only. Flaggers and pedestrian crossers are present. Expect traffic delays and one-way alternating traffic in work areas.
Between Dac Rowe Park and Stowe Street
Excavation for the box cut will continue on both sides of North Main Street through the week with fine grading on Wednesday and Thursday.
Expect temporary loss of driveway access when the excavation takes place in front of your property. Parking is available at the municipal parking lot.
Expect noise and congestion while this work takes place.
New granite curbs will be installed the first two weeks in October, including lower Stowe Street.
In preparation for the binder course of pavement, milling may be done on all side roads, weather permitting. Base paving also may happen late next week, depending on weather.
Between Stowe Street and Park Street
Pouring of concrete sidewalks will continue where the curbs have been installed. After concrete is installed, driveways will be blocked from access for approximately seven days while the concrete cures. Vehicles will need to park off site during this time.
Driveway apron paving will be completed.
Watch for signage changes to enter and exit the Village Market/Kinney’s shopping center when apron paving takes place.
Park Row access will remain open.
Walkway and sidewalk cleanup continues.
Anticipate new granite curbs the first two weeks in October for areas that do not yet have curbs.
Bidwell Street sidewalk work continues.
Weather permitting, possible milling of all side roads will be done in preparation for the binder course of pavement.
From Park Street to the end of the project
Weather permitting, this week may see milling of all side roads and the south end of the project on Main Street in preparation for the binder course of pavement.
Roundabout project
This is a separate project from Main Street involving the roundabout and the roadways connecting with it. Flaggers will be in place in the work zone. Paving should be completed this week, weather allowing. Line striping will be done following the final paving.
