Construction Update - Ayer West Main Street Infrastructure Project

September 26, 2022

The Ayer West Main Street Infrastructure Project is continuing. Below is an update of work completed to date.

Completed-to-date:

  • Water infrastructure replacement
  • Drainage infrastructure replacement
  • Roadway milling
  • Sidewalk and curb removal

Upcoming Work this Fall:

  • Shared-Use Path Construction
  • Verbeck Gate Improvements
  • Binder course pavement of Sculley Road and West Main Street
  • Winterize project (e.g. adjust structures, secure area (driveway aprons, hydrants, etc.))

Unfortunately, we did not receive the curbing that was secured for the project. The curbing supply company had issues and was unable to fulfill their project orders. This has impacted several projects across the region, including this project. We have secured curbing from another source, but it will not be delivered until early next year. Curbing for the project will be installed first thing in the Spring, followed by sidewalks and road top course.

When paving work is scheduled, advance notice of any traffic impacts will be given.
