Downtown Project Update #14 - Emmons St paving begins Wednesday night

"We are scheduled to pave Emmons and West Central Street Wednesday night. Start time will be 7:00 p.m. with a finishing time of 5:00 a.m. The finishing time may be a little later so we can finish Summer Street, but we will be out of the school’s way for the start of their day. 

If anything changes and we have to push it back to Thursday, we will let you know but we should be all set Wednesday night. 

If anyone has a question, please feel free to reach out to the DPW Director, Brutus Cantoreggi or Town Engineer, Michael Maglio at 508-553-5500 or Jeffrey Nutting, Town Administrator at 508-520-4949. "

Note the start time has changed from what was captured 2 weeks ago. This time they will pave at night shutting the road from 7:00 PM to 4:00 AM

Emmons St closed today for paving

We will have to close Emmons St at 7:00 am tomorrow. 

I told Mike to order extra details so we will have one at Emmons/Main, Emmons/School, School/Union and Union/140 to properly direct traffic. 

Detour signs will be properly placed. Traffic coming 140 SB will be placed in the NB lane first. That way we can get people in and out of Davis Thayer better. 

We should be completed, or at least out of their entrance way by 2:00 pm
