The engineering-design phase of the Lawrence Street Bridge project has begun.  The general project scope is to replace the existing bridge and to reconstruct the road approaches to the bridge.  Over the course of the summer, there will be crews working in the Lawrence Street area doing surveying and geotechnical work.  This project is part of the State Bridge Aid Program and this work is the beginning of the second phase.

Since NHEC is currently on strike and will not shield the electrical line to allow for the drilling subcontractor to conduct soil borings in the locations needed this work may be delayed.  The work will take place when the strike is over and the drilling contractor gets a confirmation date from the utility company.

The completion date for the entire project is estimated to be 2024 and we will keep you updated as things progress.
