Once all project construction is complete, the project route will be repaved, curb-to-curb, at National Grid's expense. This includes sections of Albion Street, Broadway Street, North Avenue, Main Street, Salem Street, and Montrose Avenue as well as street crossings at Bennett Street, Richardson Street, and Water Street. National Grid has re-sequenced their construction schedule in order to provide residents a respite from ongoing construction. All road plates have been removed from Montrose Avenue. Excavation and duct bank installation on the street will resume in late fall or early winter.
