April 28 through May 4: Beginning Tuesday night, April 30, the contractor was set to begin milling operations on Main Street starting at the bridge and proceeding westerly to the end of the project. The contractor will mill most of the asphalt. Milling operations will continue on Main Street and Water Street (north) until this phase is complete; we expect it to take two or three days.
May 5 through May 11: Beginning on Sunday night, May 5, the contractor will begin excavating Main Street. Crews will remove about two feet of dirt and replace it with new subbase gravel. The contractor will begin at the railroad tracks and proceed westerly. During the week, the contractor hopes to excavate from the railroad tracks to Walker Street. Excavation and gravel operations should happen on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday nights. Fine grading is expected to happen on Wednesday night. Placement of the new asphalt base is expected on Thursday night.
May 12 through May 18: The contractor will continue the excavation of Main Street from Water Street to Middle Street. Excavation and gravel operations will happen on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday nights. Fine grading will happen on Wednesday night. Asphalt base placement will happen on Thursday night.
May 19 through May 25 : The contractor will continue with the same procedure on Main Street from Middle Street to Federal Street and the end of the project.
Barring any bad weather, breakdowns, or unforeseen discoveries under the roadway, the first layer of new pavement will be on Main Street by Memorial Day weekend.
