South Main Paving Update

CONCORD, NH - Prepare for changes to traffic and deliveries patterns on South Main Street this week. Here are the details.

Paving, Tuesday, July 12

On Tuesday, a paving crew will put a finish coat of asphalt on the new South Main Street east side work zone (Pleasant St. to Concord St.), Pleasant Street Extension AND pave BOTH SIDES of South Main from Concord Street south to the Storrs Street intersection. The paving will begin at 7 a.m. and may not be finished until 7 p.m.

Submitted by the Concord Main Street Project.

After the fresh pavement is down and until it is rolled and cools, motorists and delivery vehicles will not be allowed to drive on it. This means that access to driveways and parking lots on South Main in the paving areas and on Pleasant St. Extension will be affected after the fresh pavement is laid down. No delivery trucks will be allowed on the fresh pavement. The parking lot at the Concord Food Co-op will be accessible all day.

This will be a particularly disruptive day for motorists on S. Main and they are encouraged to seek alternate routes. Police officers and flaggers will be on hand to direct traffic.

Striping, Friday, July 15

The freshly paved areas will be striped on Friday, July 15. This will not be as disruptive to traffic in the newly paved areas as the paving on Tuesday. On street parking will be coned-off before the striping is done and until it dries.

Please note: The paving and striping schedule is weather dependent.

Utility undergrounding work

Trenching and the laying of conduit will take place on Theatre Street and Hills Ave next week

Work Zone Flip, Monday, July 18

On Monday, July 18, the Main Street Project work zone will flip to the west side of South Main from Pleasant Street south to Concord Street (Capitol Center for the Arts). As a result, the traffic pattern will change with traffic moving through the work area in one lane northbound, and southbound traffic detoured at the Pleasant/South Main intersection to Storrs Street or State Street.
