1. Main Street Water Main Cleaning and Lining
For the upcoming workweek (7/29 - 8/2): The Contractor, Biszko Contracting Corp., will be finishing the water bypass installation in and around downtown. When the installation is complete, the bypass will be filled with water and tested.
Next week (8/5 - 8/9), Biszko will start connecting the water services to the commercial establishments, residential units and town building along Main Street. Roadway construction should start that week.
2. Summer Street Water Main Replacement
Summer Street will also need a temporary water main bypass. This work should start within the next two weeks.
Overall, the impacts to the traffic will be minimal on Main Street and Summer Street at this time. If you have any questions, please contact Dan Maurer at dmaurer@ashlandmass.com.
Thank you,
The Department of Public Works
