This is the second update for the Main Street Sidewalk Reconstruction Project. This week we continued preparatory work for the major construction by installing advanced warning signage around town and also by sawcutting the roadway and sidewalk. Although this may seem like a noisy and messy operation, it actually allows the contractor to remove the sidewalk in a much neater fashion. This will really help get those big slabs of concrete out smoothly in the tight locations.
We do not anticipate any construction onsite for the week August 10th through the 14th while the contractor continues to do preparatory work and gets construction materials ready. You may see them around town installing a few last construction signs. We do expect that the week of August 17, the contractor will begin the construction of the sidewalks at the Walnut Street end of the project and progress south.
As always, if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact Steve Barrett or Hannah O’Connell at the Department of Public Works. Our phone number is (802) 254 – 4255.
