The City of Fitchburg, Water Division, is continuing the construction of a water main improvements project within the Main Street corridor. The purpose of the project is to remove and replace two existing water mains along Main St.

For the week of Sept. 7th, expect minor traffic delays, parking restrictions, and traffic detouring.  
• No work is anticipated on Monday Sept. 7th.   
• Beginning Tuesday Sept. 8th, during construction hours, J.A. Polito & Sons will be installing water main on High St. between Elm St. and Mechanic St.   
• To accommodate this work, some traffic detouring may occur at or near these locations that may result in minor delays.   
• A full closure of Main St. is not anticipated at this time.

Additional updates will be posted on the City’s Facebook page throughout the project.
