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.
• Work has been completed on Water Street near the Vernon Street intersection.
• 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 between New Salem Street and Lowell Street. No through-traffic during work hours; emergency and residential vehicle access only.
• Duct bank installation will take place near the intersection of Salem Street and Chapman Road. As work progresses at this site, it will move in the direction of the I-95 ramps. A two-way alternating traffic pattern will be in place around this work site.
• Crews plan to extend their work on Salem Street through close of business on Saturday, barring inclement weather and pending the availability of police details.
