The Town is warning the public of a traffic disruption expected downtown next week. The area around the train tracks on Main Street will be reduced to one lane of travel.
The gas company will be doing some digging starting Monday, September 2nd, and could last through Wednesday. The Town asked me to share the following notice:
EVERSOURCE WORK ON MAIN STREET
Eversource will be doing road work on Main Street near the CSX Railroad Crossing beginning on Monday, September 2, 2024. They will be lining the Gas Main beneath the Road and will cut a hole in the road before and after the railroad crossing, on the east bound travel lane (closest to Mauro’s and Lamy’s). One lane will remain open during work hours. Police details will be conducted to control traffic and proper signage will be posted. Main Street will be open to one lane of traffic only for up to 3 days starting on September 2, 2024.
I find it ironic that the labor will begin on Labor Day. But I assume that is to help reduce the impact on school buses and commuters.
