Paving Scheduled To Finish UP!

PAVING BACK ON TRACK AFTER WEATHER DELAYS

BARRE “BIG DIG”CONSTRUCTION UPDATE:

Last week’s schedule was completely changed due to weather conditions. Sometimes you just can’t argue with Mother Nature!

So, let’s try this again!

On Thursday, May 16th, Luck Brothers paved South Main Street, Prospect Street, Church Street and began Elm Street. On Friday, May 17th, Luck Brothers paved North Main Street, Washington Street and Depot Square.

This week, once again, all paving will occur at night. Luck Brothers hours of operation will be from 7pm to 7am.

On Sunday, May 19th Luck Brothers will be catching up any unfinished paving from North Main Street and then moving on to Summer Street.

On Monday, May 20th, Luck Brothers will tie up any loose ends on Summer Street and then begin Maple Avenue.

This leaves Tuesday, May 21st as the last night of paving to finish up any remedial work. With luck this is the end of the paving operation. Weather conditions are the only thing that could change the schedule.

NOTICES are being handed out about PARKING RESTRICTIONS on specific streets on different nights. PLEASE PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THESE NOTICES! Cars left on the streets that have received a notice could be subject to towing at the owners expense.

For the week of May 20th to May 23rd, subcontractors will also be on site. Meter posts are scheduled to be installed. We will need to continue with night work to allow the line stripers to paint the permanent road markings. Remember, this is the final product. Use caution when traveling around a work zone.

PLEASE pay close attention to message boards, traffic detour signs, advanced warning signs, uniformed traffic officers and flaggers who will be posted at strategic locations for traffic control. Again, expect delays at times and plan your commute accordingly.

DOWNTOWN BARRE IS OPEN!!! Come and check out the new construction (and new pavement!) and explore the many shops and restaurants waiting to serve you.
