The Main Street Project continues to progress without delay. Work continues along the length of Main Street and at the intersection near CVS. The project is anticipated to be completed by Thanksgiving.
As part of the Main Street reconstruction, it will be necessary to close a section of the street between Governor and Catoonah Streets due to the heavy equipment present on site. Construction crews will be working nearly 24 hours a day--from early Friday morning, August 26, through late Sunday, August 28. Part of the roadway will be rebuilt, and new asphalt poured.
As a result, traffic will need to be rerouted. There will be electronic billboards and detour signs to help guide traffic. A limited number of vehicles will be allowed to enter or exit at the intersection of Catoonah and Main Street. Parking spaces will also be available in this area. Sidewalks WILL remain open for pedestrian traffic during this period.
“This closure is critical for the Main Street Project to be completed in a timely manner. Once finished, the benefits will include a smoother flow of traffic, improved safety at crosswalks, and enhanced landscaping” stated First Selectman Rudy Marconi. “Please continue to support our local merchants!”
