Main Street Corridor Project update: Utility line transfer work continues on project’s west side

by | Jul 19, 2024 | News

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

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 and Hayden Rowe Street, as well as in front of the Fire Station.

A.F. Amorello will be on-site during the week of July 22 to begin work on the south side of the project. Work may include brickwork, sidewalk work, curb work and underground utility connections from the property lines to building foundations and into buildings as required.

Eversource continues to wait for transformers needed to complete the undergrounding of utilities. Supply chain challenges obtaining the transformers remains the reason for the delay.

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 or alternating traffic will be used as necessary.
