Reconstruction of Avery Street - Phase 2

The second phase of the reconstruction of Avery Street is currently underway. The Town is improving the portion of Avery Street from Gray Road to Orchard Hill Drive with new drainage structures, full depth reconstruction of the roadway with curbs, and concrete sidewalks. Initial work has begun with the cutting and clearing of trees and installation of erosion control fencing. The contractor will begin installation of drain pipes and structures this week, and earthwork and preparation of the road bed will follow, then construction of sidewalks and paving. It is anticipated that the entire project will be completed by the end of November.          

Avery Street will remain open during the entire period of construction but motorists should expect delays while the contractor is performing his work. One-way alternating traffic will be maintained in the immediate area where work is being performed. Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes during this construction phase of Avery Street if at all possible. Access to abutting properties will be maintained and gravel may be temporarily placed to transition from existing driveways to the road excavation.

Normal working hours for the contractor will be from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. If you have any questions regarding this project, please call the Engineering Division at (860) 644-2511, ext. 344.
