The town on Friday issued an update on the Main Street Corridor Project, announcing that all 12 transformers have been installed.

The receipt of the transformers had been delayed for months by supply chain issues. After a push in June by Select Board chair Brian Herr, six transformers arrived in mid-July. The remaining six arrived in early August.

Eversource crews have been performing the preliminary work associated with the transformers, which should be completed within a month. Shifting power lines from being overhead to underground should begin in late September or early October.

Overhead utility line work will continue on the west side of the project during the upcoming week, while work on underground utility connections from property lines to building foundations also continues.

Polar Vortex’s painting crew will continue its work on the traffic poles, where paint was peeling. Scheduled hours for this work will be from 7 a.m. until 5 p.m. 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.

A.F. Amorello & Sons, the project’s construction company, is expected to return to work on the project during the upcoming week. The company has been performing brickwork, sidewalk work, curb work, landscaping and underground utility connections from the property lines to several building foundations and into buildings as required.

This 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 and alternating traffic patterns may be used as necessary.
