Eagle Street Fixes Begin in April

NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — We know everybody is tired of street construction after last year, but it's not over yet.

A message from Albert Brighenti, project manager for Gagliarducci Construction Inc., says street work will start on April 25 along Eagle Street.

The work will include removing street lights, bases and sidewalks and installing new bases and conduits followed by sidewalk replacement.

Finishing work from last year will be continued, including relocating the fire hydrant at American Legion Drive and Main Street and, running counterclockwise through the city, removing bituminous patches and installing concrete sidewalk panels as required.

The process is expected to take three weeks. Pavement milling and overlay will begin in June.

The $2.2 million refurbishment of lighting, roads and sidewalks in the downtown began last spring. The bulk of the work was done through last fall and is considered 75 percent complete by state Department of Transportation.
