Among the updates National Grid notes this week:

• Once all project construction is complete, the project route will be repaved, curb-to-curb, at National Grid’s expense. This includes sections of Albion Street, Broadway Street, North Avenue, Main Street, Salem Street, and Montrose Avenue as well as street crossings at Bennett Street, Richardson Street, and Water Street.
• National Grid has re-sequenced their construction schedule in order to provide residents a respite from ongoing construction. All road plates have been removed from Montrose Avenue.
  • Excavation and duct bank installation on the street will resume in late fall or early winter.
• In an effort to complete work on Salem Street safely and as quickly as possible, multiple crews will focus on excavation and duct bank installation on Salem Street near Tyler Lane.
  • No through-traffic during work hours; emergency and residential vehicle access only.
• Contractors are on track to complete remaining work on Water Street. Once construction at this work site is complete, this crew will join the crews on Salem Street in order to further accelerate our progress.
