Project Status:

The Contractor, Albanese D&S, has installed the temporary water main. Over the course of the week of April 22, the temporary water main will be tested prior to placing it into service. Upon acceptance of the tests, properties from Hodgdon Brook to Thorton Street will be transferred over to the temporary water main. The Contractor will notify the property owners prior to the transfer as water will be shut off to the house during the activity (approx.. 15 minutes at each property). Once all the properties are transferred to the temporary water main, the existing water mains in the street will be turned off.  

This work is expected to be completed between April 28 and May 1. It is anticipated that on May 1, the project will begin work on the sewer main. This work will require Bartlett Street to be closed between Woodbury Avenue and Hodgdon Brook. There will be a detour in place to direct traffic around the construction zone. Access to properties within the construction zone will be provided.

Project Description:

This project includes the reconstruction of underground public utilities (water, sewer, drainage) on Bartlett Street from Hodgdon Brook to Dennett Street, and Thornton Street from Woodbury Avenue to Bartlett Street. This will also include connections to existing utilities on side streets of Morning Street, Clinton Street, Pine Street, Meredith Way and Woodbury Ave. The project also consists of reconstructing the streetscape, including curbing, sidewalks, reconstructing the roadway and traffic calming measures.
