Main Street Construction Update | Sept. 17-25
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 for the next several weeks. Expect temporary loss of driveway access as this happens. Parking is available at the municipal parking lot. Noise and congestion will accompany this work.
Drainage crossing installations will continue.
Possible work at the Main and Stowe Street intersection late next week for new traffic signal conduits.
Sidewalk prep will begin on the odd-numbered side of Main Street.
Looking ahead: Anticipate paving Oct. 1-2 contingent on weather and schedule; anticipate new granite curbs the first two weeks in October, including lower Stowe Street.
Between Stowe Street and Park Street
Driveway and sidewalk prep will continue where new curbs are installed.
Poured concrete sidewalks continue where the curbs have been installed. Once concrete is installed, driveways will be blocked from access for approximately 7 days while the concrete cures. Vehicles will need to park off site during this time.
Watch for signage changes to enter and exit the Village Market/Kinney’s shopping center. Park Row access will remain open.
Walkway and sidewalk cleanup continues.
Anticipate new granite curbs the first two weeks in October between Foundry Street and Stowe Street including portions of Elm Street and Bidwell Lane.
Bidwell Lane sidewalk work continues.
From Park Street to the end of the project
No significant work is scheduled in this area at this time.
Roundabout project
This is a separate project from Main Street. Motorists can expect alternating one-way traffic patterns with flaggers in place in the work zone. Paving and general road construction will take place during both daytime and nighttime hours at the roundabout and along U.S. Route 2.
