Crews will be closing Lewiston’s Lincoln Street overnight on May 19 to install electrical wiring for the new gateway park.

The city will close Lincoln Street at Main Street beginning about 7 p.m. Wednesday, according to Public Works Director Dave Jones.

“We’re doing all of that work overnight, and we should be out in time for the morning rush,” Jones said.

City paving contractors will be out on Crowley and Dyer roads. Other crews should be out on Drew Street putting down a rough layer of pavement there. Those crews will be back later in the summer to put down the final surface coat.

Bartlett Street will be torn up beginning this week, part of the Gulley Brook sewer separation project. The first phases of that project began two years ago; work is expected continue on the latest phases throughout this summer. The current phase of the project should begin Monday on Bartlett Street near Ricker Park and continue up Pleasant, Meader, and Stevens streets and Webber Avenue later this summer. Work on the Main Street sidewalks should wrap up this week as well.

In Auburn, city contractors should finish paving on streets off of Western Avenue and continuing building a sidewalk along the east side of Center Street.

But other crews will begin work along the Vickery Road neighborhood. Work started last year on the Vickery Road hill and will move to the five neighboring streets this week.

“We’re putting in new drainage and doing a full road reclamation,” said Auburn Project Engineer Jim DePalma. Crews will dig out the old pavement, replace the gravel and put down asphalt as part of the project. Work in the neighborhood – and continuing west on Vickery Road – should continue through July.

State crews will wrap up work on Route 202 in Greene, from the Lewiston city line to Allen Pond Road by Tuesday, according to project manager Bill Bourne.

Then, they’ll be moving back to Auburn for the six-week project on Court Street. They’ll begin grinding off the old pavement on Wednesday through the rest of the week, repair sewer grates for the following two weeks and then repaving the whole thing.

“By mid-June, we should just have the sidewalk and driveway details to finish up,” he said.
