Main Street Construction | May 15-21

OVERALL IMPACTS

  • Flaggers and pedestrian crossers will be present where construction is taking place. 

  • Watch for changing work locations and traffic patterns. 

  • No construction activities are scheduled for weekends. 

  • This project is scheduled to be completed in July-August 

Segment 1:  North Main Street from Railroad bridge by Dac Rowe to Stowe Street

  • Sidewalk work continues on North Main Street from the railroad bridge towards the downtown core. 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. Neighbors are encouraged to coordinate to share parking.

  • Businesses affected will have temporary pedestrian access while the concrete cures.

  • Walkways to each property are being prepped for matching into the new sidewalks. 

  • A kiosk foundation is being installed at the corner of Bidwell Lane and Stowe Street.

Stowe Street note:

  • The current work on lower Stowe Street is a town project although the work crew is the same. 

  • Work on the Stowe Street dry bridge is scheduled to begin this week. Traffic will be redirected when needed.

Segment 2:  South Main Street between Stowe Street and Park Street

  • New concrete sidewalks are scheduled to be poured in several different locations. Pedestrian access will be limited temporarily.

  • The schedule for concrete sidewalk installation is dependent on weather. Be prepared to be flexible these next few weeks as the work crew progresses by each property. 

  • 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.

  • Impacted business access will have temporary accommodations while new concrete cures.

  • Vehicles will not be able to drive over newly poured concrete at driveway openings for several days. Alternate parking will need to be arranged during this time. Signage will be in place as needed.

  • A kiosk foundation is being installed near the former TD Bank parking area.

 Segments 3 and 4: Park Row to the end of the project  

  • Kiosk foundations are being installed at the corner of Park Row and South Main Street and the corner of Demeritt Place and South Main Street.
