Whipple Road Sidewalk Project Construction Resumes - Monday, April 10, 2023

Construction on the Whipple Road Sidewalk Project will resume on Monday, April 10, 2022. In order for concrete sidewalks to be poured, construction work will begin with the excavation of gravel placed for winter stabilization.  Due to safety concerns within the construction zone, the sidewalk (on Whipple Road from Wyman Avenue to just before Tudor Drive) will remain closed until concrete has been poured and cured in place.  

After the concrete sidewalk is installed, the Town’s contractor will complete final punch list items, which include: reseeding loam on the backsides of the sidewalk, ensuring driveways are tied in appropriately and restoring disturbed areas from all construction activities. Construction work will continue this spring until completion, pending weather and contractor availability. ​

Equipment operation and construction within the confines of roadways is very difficult and safety is always a concern.  Flaggers will be stationed throughout the roadway, directing traffic during lane closures.  Residents should expect traffic delays while the sidewalk construction work is completed.

We appreciate the patience of drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists, as we work to complete this project.

If you have any concerns or questions about the project, please contact Public Works Inspector, Jessa Kellogg at (207) 752-7242.
