Main Street Reconstruction
The Main Street reconstruction began in the spring of 2019. The project area includes Main Street by the railroad bridge and progresses through the downtown for nearly one mile just past Demeritt Place. During the 2019 and 2020 seasons, construction was completed on all water and sewer lines, storm drains, and underground conduits within the project area. Beginning in spring 2021 as weather conditions allow, the project will resume with minor electrical work and streetscape amenities, including informational kiosks, wayfinding signage, flags, banners, flowers, trees, and the final concrete sidewalk installation and roadway paving.
FAQ's
What work is being done on Main Street?
The Main Street Reconstruction project starts on the south side of the railroad trestle by the roundabout and travels south for approximately one mile just beyond Demeritt Place (across from Subway). The 100 year old water lines, sewer lines and storm drains will be replaced with new lines with a life expectancy for the next 100 years. Utility lines will be placed underground between the Congregational Church and Park Street, and on Stowe Street from the Main Street intersection to the dry bridge over the railroad. Period lampposts matching the ones at the roundabout will be installed in this core area. New sidewalks, landscaping, wayfinding, hanging flower baskets, flags and banners will enhance our downtown. Sidewalks and walkways will be ADA compliant.
