UPDATE MAIN STREET PAVING PROJECT:

From The Cape Ann Chamber Of Commerce-

Crosswalk removal TODAY
Curbing work NEXT
Full street paving WEEK OF JUNE 8

The DPW continues to work on downtown road surface improvements.

Today all crosswalks will be removed.  Traffic will be temporarily re-routed
around the work areas as they move down the street.  This work is expected to
finish with all machinery removed this afternoon.  No work is planned for the
Memorial Day Weekend.

Full street paving will take place the week of June 8.  This will require 1 day
to grind the street, 2-3 days raising casting and 1 day to pave.  Please be aware
that the grinding work will be noisy and dirty, but will be completed as quickly
as possible.

Temporary street closures and re-routing of traffic are necessary to complete
the project and disruptions should be expected.  However, all work is expected
to be finished prior to the June 20th Block Party.  The results will be a
smoother, neater, more visitor friendly Main Street.
