Main Street Corridor Project update: 3 transformers installed, utility line transfer work continues

by | Jul 27, 2024 | Featured: News, News

Main Street transformers

Crews install some of the long-awaited transformers on Main Street earlier this week.

Three of the 12 transformers needed for the completion of the Main Street Corridor Project were delivered this week and installed by Eversource on July 25 near the Town Common, the town announced Friday in its latest update on the project.

After a delay of several months, Town Manager Elaine Lazarus stated that six of the 12 transformers for the project would be delivered this week by Eversource. They are necessary to complete the underground installation of electrical wires. Supply chain issues was the reason given for the delay.

Overhead utility line work will continue on the west side of the project during the upcoming week.

Polar Vortex’s painting crew will continue its work on the traffic poles, repairing peeling paint. Scheduled hours for this work will be from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., and hours may be adjusted based on traffic flow patterns. Locations for repairs include the intersections of Main Street and Commonwealth Avenue, Pleasant Street, Grove Street, Church Street, Wood Street and Hayden Rowe Street, as well as in front of the Fire Station.

The work schedule may change due to weather and existing conditions found while performing these tasks. This work may impact traffic and require lane and sidewalk closures, limiting access to driveways and entrances to businesses. Detours or alternating traffic will be used as necessary.
