Kittery Water District Road Work on Walker Street Update - Detour Extended Until 4 PM Tuesday, April 30, 2024

Update - Tuesday, April 30, 2024

The detour from Monday, April 29, 2024 has been extended and will be in place until 4:00 PM on Tuesday, April 30, 2024.

With the detour in place, traffic on Walker Street heading inbound towards the PNS Gate 1 entrance/intersection will be closed to vehicular traffic beyond Jones Avenue.  Inbound traffic will be detoured down Jones Avenue to Government Street. For a map of the detour, please click here.

Traffic flaggers and a police detail will be stationed throughout the area directing vehicles to reduce congestion and maintain the flow of traffic.

Traffic delays are expected while road work is taking place. We appreciate the patience of drivers, pedestrians and cyclists, as we work to complete this project.

This April, the Kittery Water District will be completing road work necessary to install a new water main on Walker Street (between Dame Street and the PNS Gate 1 intersection).  Construction will begin on Monday, April 29, 2024, and will occur Monday - Friday during the hours of 7:30 AM - 4:00 PM. 

The utility work will take approximately 2 weeks to complete.

After Monday, April 29, 2024

Following the one-day detour on April 29, 2024, traffic on Walker Street heading inbound to the PNS Gate 1 entrance/intersection will be reduced to one-lane approaching the intersection.

Additional information to note:

• Four parking spaces in front of the Dance Hall will be restricted as “no parking” due to the proximity of the water main and road work in this area.
• For approximately two days, there will be no access to the municipal parking lot from the Walker Street entrance.
  •  The parking lot will remain accessible from the Government Street side entrance.

Equipment operation and construction within the confines of roadways is very difficult and safety is always a concern.  When traveling through the construction area please slow down, follow all posted signage and be mindful of those working within the roadways.
