Marblehead Elm Street Drainage Work To Begin In 2 Weeks

MARBLEHEAD, MA — Residents in the Elm Street area of Marblehead should expect some disruption starting in a couple of weeks as crews work to improve drainage in the neighborhood.

The Marblehead Department of Public Works said N. Granese & Sons, Inc. will begin the two-month project on or about Nov. 29 to replace approximately 130 feet of drainage main on Elm Street and connect that to a recently installed system on Elm Street near Evans Road.

The project also includes the installation of new catch basins, sidewalk and curb improvements, and replacing a sewer and drain main between Roosevelt Avenue and Evans Road. The Elm Steet work will be done first before the contractor moves to Roosevelt Avenue.

Marblehead DPW said temporary traffic delays, dust and noise should be expected while work is taking place. Work hours are scheduled for 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Mondays through Fridays.

Those with any questions can contact the DPW office at 781-631-1750 or drains@marblehead.org.
