Central St. Bridge Work

In today’s SUN…
City bridge work to drag on through February
Construction on the Central Street bridge over the Pawtucket Canal, which began late last summer, has been delayed by a couple months, according to the company overseeing the project.
Enel Green Power North America, Inc., an Andover-based renewable-energy plant operator, owns the canal and is completing the project on the Central Street bridge and two other bridges in the city.
A spokesperson for the company said work on the Central Street bridge was supposed to be complete by mid-December, but the schedule has been pushed back to projected completion in February due to conditions that were not known until construction began.

A message from Neighborhood Planner Allegra Williams.
The city has hired a consultant to begin conducting randomized telephone surveys with Lowell residents over the next several weeks. The survey will take just 10 minutes of your time and will provide you with a way to share your views on Lowell’s transportation system, public services, job opportunities, housing quality, and so forth. Your feedback will help inform future policy decisions, so we hope you will participate!

We’ll be taking the LONG way for awhile

Posted on September 15, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Starting Monday, September 20th pedestrian access through the Hamilton Canal District (HCD) site will no longer be available. Access will be restricted through the spring of 2011, when the Hamilton Canal and Trestle Bridge walkway project is anticipated to be open connecting the Merrimack Canal walkway with Jackson Street .

Trinity, the Master Developer for the HCD, will be completing on site roadway construction in the location of the current pedestrian walkway, thereby rendering pedestrian access through the site unsafe. Pedestrians should seek alternate routes around the HCD and are encouraged to utilize safe routes on existing sidewalks.
