Major paving work complete for the season

The Washington and Main Water Improvements contractor completed all major trench paving this week. With the exception of minor spot work, the project operations have wrapped up until the spring.

In the spring, Washington Street and Main Street will get a complete street overlay. There will also be repairs made to the sidewalks.

About the project
The Washington and Main Water Improvements project replaced 3,000 feet of critical water main infrastructure under Washington Street and Main Street, some of the oldest water distribution pipes in the City of Dover that were installed in the late 1800s.

The contractor installed a new ductile iron pipe that will provide reliable water service for the next 100-plus years. The project began on March 22, 2021. The six-month project had significant traffic impacts and limited durations of water shutoff as infrastructure was replaced.
