The town on July 2 issued an update on the Main Street Corridor Project.

Eversource is nearing completion of its overhead utility line installation work while the company continues to wait for transformers needed to complete the undergrounding of utilities. Supply chain challenges obtaining the transformers remains the reason for the delay.

“As long as the other utility companies respond and are on-site in a timely and sequential order, the goal is to complete all overhead transfers by the end of September, followed by removal of old poles once the new underground infrastructure is operational,” according to a statement issued by the town.

At a public tree hearing Monday, the town approved the removal of a maple tree in the vicinity of 7 East Main Street to allow Eversource to install new utility lines.

Polar Vortex will be on-site July 3 and July 5 to begin paint removal of traffic signals, beginning at the intersection of Wood Street and Route 135. The paint removal will be on pedestrian poles, so no lane closures will be needed. Bucket containment of any debris will be done in field, and street cleaning will be done daily at the end of shift. Scheduled hours for this work will be from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., and hours may be adjusted after the first week based on traffic flow patterns. Additional locations for repairs include the intersections of Main Street and Commonwealth Avenue, Pleasant Street, Grove Street, Church Street and Hayden Rowe Street, as well as in front of the Fire Station.

Although Dagle Electric is not scheduled to pull wire to various addresses along the corridor on July 3 or July 5, representatives from the Massachusetts Department of Transportation will be on-site.

A.F. Amorello is targeting to be on-site after July 4 to work on the south side of the project. Work will include brickwork, sidewalk work, curb work, landscaping and underground utility connections from the property lines to building foundations and into buildings as required.
