Main Street Project Updates

Daily Construction Update for Thursday, September 12, 2019

On Thursday, construction crews began installing drainage along the northern curb east of BHOP down towards the traffic signal. That work will continue on Friday and will require temporary closure of the on-street parking along this stretch of curb. That will complete the majority of the drainage construction.

The contractor is planning on paving around the new catch basins on Friday.

Daily Construction Update for Tuesday, September 11, 2019

A new catch basin was installed Wednesday at the intersection with Chase Street. Additional construction crews installed frames and grates on all the catch basins that have been installed so far. Thursday, crews will be installing a new catch basin at the entrance to the Town parking lot just west of the Bridgton House of Pizza (BHOP). Please anticipate that this entrance into the parking lot may be closed during this construction. You can still access the parking lot via the Key Bank driveway or the entrance to the Municipal lot off Chase Street.

If time permits, they will also begin installing drainage along the northern curb east of BHOP down towards the traffic signal. This will require temporary closure of the on-street parking along this stretch of curb. That will complete the majority of the drainage construction.

The contractor is planning on paving around the new catch basins on Friday.

One new catch basin and a drain manhole were installed today as part of the storm drainage system upgrades across the street from the Rufus Porter museum
