Main Street Corridor Project update: Undergrounding of services progresses

by | Dec 20, 2024 | News

The town’s latest Main Street Corridor Project update released Friday shared that the transfer of services from the existing overhead systems to the new underground systems continues to make progress.

Crown Castle has completed its work, and as of Dec. 16, Eversource has transferred all but three properties to its new underground system. The town continues to coordinate with Dagle Electric and Eversource to schedule the remaining cut-overs for Eversource.

The town recently completed a walk of the project with Verizon and Comcast as those utilities follow Eversource for cutting over their overhead services to their new underground systems. Comcast is expected to start its work soon.

The town’s goal is to continue to coordinate with the utilities so that all the existing utility poles scheduled to be removed from Wood Street to Ash Street and all the overhead wires from the Police Station to Ash Street are removed as soon as possible.

Weekly construction advisories will resume when there are weekly updates on the project. Until then, the town will send project updates as needed.

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.
