MAIN STREET IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
MAY 11, 2020 WEEK # 4 ACTIVITIES
Thank you to the village residents and businesses for their cooperation and patience with the downtown construction
In an effort to complete as much work as possible before businesses fully reopen, Colonna Construction will begin weekday operations at 6:30 a.m.
This crew understands the importance of business access and operation of a safe work zone. Chester constables are on site throughout the workday to maintain traffic flow, pedestrian safety and parking. Additional signage will be on site next week to make it easier to see where traffic flow should be.
During the past week, the voids under the sidewalk between the Village and River Tavern were filled.
The main storm drainage line between the old town hall and Otto's was installed. Decorative street lights were removed and work at the Chester wall started. With the completion of the main drainage outfall to the Pattaconk Brook, removal of the old street drainage system and construction of the new system will start along the north side of Main Street from the flagpole area to the new bridge.
Excavations for the new pipe, catch basin and temporary trench asphalt patching will be done in a sequence to ensure the street is safe and useable at the end of each day.
You will see that the "bumpout" in the Chester wall is being removed. The wall will be straightened out next to the stairs and the stones that are removed as part of the bumpout will be reused as part of the widening of the stairs.
