City Road Construction

Crescent Connector Phase 2 Project

The second phase of the Crescent Connector Project will consist of constructing a new roadway connecting Park Street to Maple Street and a full-depth reconstruction of Railroad Street. Work will begin on May 15, 2023, with the preparation of the site with construction limit fencing and signage. Construction will begin in earnest on May 22, 2023, on Park Street. This project will impact Park Street, Main Street, and Maple Street at various times throughout the course of the construction. Moveable message boards will warn of street and lane closures. It will also include the installation of new traffic signals at Park Street and Maple Street. The project will include bike lanes and new sidewalks, and the entire route will have new street lights installed. Phase 1 of this project, which focused on railroad crossing improvements within the City core in 2022, is now complete. Both phases of this project have been in development for the past 12 years, and the construction of Phase 2 will complete this long-term project. The estimated completion date of this project is November 2024.

Corrective Action Plan Amendment Crescent Connector Roadway

June 27, 2024 Daily Update

Friday the contractor will be installing sidewalk on Maple Street and installing new pavement from the Five Corners to the first railroad crossing on Park Street.

We will be placing flyers on the doors of any businesses or residences whose access may be blocked by the sidewalk installation.

There will be significant construction activity on both Park Street and Maple Street tomorrow. Expect that Maple Street will be reduced to one lane and Park Street to be reduced from three lanes northbound to one lane at the Five Corners during the paving process. Please seek alternate routes if possible as traffic delays will occur as the contractor gets closer to completing the work on these streets. The contractor is working hard to complete the work so please be patient as you drive through the work zones and respect the flaggers directions.

The contractor provides their best prediction of their next work cycle, and we will be sending these emails daily during the week to keep you informed of the construction progress. Please keep in mind that construction is a fluid process and sometimes plans must change based upon weather, conditions found in the field, or other factors.
