DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION
PROJECT BACKGROUND
Main Street was last reconstructed in the early 1990’s and the roadway elements have reached their useful life. Abandoned trolley tracks, utility cuts, age, and local drainage issues have led to the deterioration of Main Street, requiring a full-depth reconstruction. The new construction will occur from South Main Street (Rte. 146) to Chestnut Street and within the existing roadway width from curb to curb. New streetscape features are now included in the project, with sidewalk, lighting, and street furniture upgrades being incorporated into the design.
The reconstruction project has been approved by South Central Regional Council of Governments (SCRCOG) for Local Transportation Capital Improvement Program (LoTCIP) funding.
PROJECT TIMELINE
The Town has entered into Final Design, and will be submitting the plans for Third-Party and DOT review in the fall. Once comments are received, revisions will be made to satisfy the permitting agencies and the plans can go out to bid. we anticipate construction to begin in 2024, contingent on timely reviews.
