West Main Street Project
LATEST UPDATE:
This Just in:
Fabrizi has provided the following update for work next week: 5/5/2025
“West St will remain closed until we have an answer from CEI. I will have a small crew working on the west end of the project installing dewatering and work will continue on the east end of the project on the roadway. We will be slipping curb on Tuesday and begin working on aprons and any block outs for catch basins or where the telephone poles were in the way of the curb machine.”
Additional Information:
Fabrizi is in discussions with the Illuminating Co. regarding holding one of the utility poles on West St. The Illuminating Co. is not sure if they will be ready to hold the pole next week, which is when Fabrizi was going to have the water quality structure delivered and installed. West St. will remain closed from north of the UH drive to W Main St. until this structure is installed. Fabrizi has barricades in place on both sides of this closure. Entrance and exit from the hospital will remain the same as it has been all week (two-way traffic on West St. up to the UH drive).
Next week, residents’ access to their driveways between Eagle St. and Lockwood St. will still be limited due to the installation of the concrete curb, which will be poured on Tuesday. Drive aprons will be poured after the curb is installed. After the concrete is cured, access to the driveways will be restored.
W. Main Street Project Update: For the week of 4/28/25,
Fabrizi has provided the following progress update: Next week we will have a crew removing the south lane on W Main starting at Eagle and working down to Lockwood. There will be periods of time when Swan and Chestnut will be inaccessible and closed at W Main St.
We will have a second crew beginning the work on West St starting Monday (today). We will perform the water line lowering and resume installing the storm sewer main.
Access to the hospital off of West St. will be maintained while the work on the storm sewer is being performed.
Last Thursday, Fabrizi passed out a flyer to the residents on W Main St. east of Lockwood to alert them of the work to be performed in the next couple weeks. (enclosed)
Additional comments:
a. We are just over 1-year into this major infrastructure project and there’s another 5-months to go. This upcoming 5-month stretch is going to be extremely busy with additional inconveniences along the way, so we’re asking the public to remain patient as we head towards the final stretch. Avoiding the construction area whenever possible continues to be beneficial to everyone. Safety for everyone continues to be our #1 priority.
b. The road remains CLOSED to thru-traffic. However, entry to businesses and residences within this area remains accessible, but CLOSED to all other thru-traffic.
c. With the anticipated construction slowdown over, sanitary line, curbing and driveway apron construction will now be picking up again at a rapid pace. The contractor has begun and will continue reaching out to businesses and residents affected by the current state of construction (most specific to driveway accessibility) advising of the scheduled construction and anticipated inconveniences.
d. Our goal remains to have this project completed by the end of September, 2025.
For the planned work for this week: 4/21/25
The contractor (Fabrizi) indicated they will be remobilizing and working on the dewatering system. They also said that they will have a survey crew onsite for re-staking.
MOT will remain the same as it has been for the last couple week.
The intersection will be open at Eagle St. for construction vehicles during work hours. The intersection will be closed when Fabrizi leaves for the day and over the weekend.
The MOT configuration on West St. will remain as it is for now.
We will continue to update this page with information as we receive it from the contractors.
