The Department of Public Works is pleased to announce commencement of the preliminary design of the Elm Street Sewer and Streetscape Project. Test pit excavations will begin within the next few days. The design will be completed and bidding will take place by April 2011. Construction will begin in June 2011. The sewer portion of the project will be completed by August 2011. All attempts will be made to complete the street and sidewalk work during this time frame including initial paving rehabilitation to improve the condition of this roadway. Final paving is scheduled for the end of June 2012.
This schedule will allow for one contractor to perform this entire project, ensuring that the roadway is only disturbed for the least amount of time and cost efficiencies. Further, this schedule allows for the project to occur between June and August 2011, a period when the Elmwood School is not in session.
Anyone with questions or concerns on this project is encouraged to contact the Hopkinton DPW at (508) 497-9740. We thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.
