Rockport Town Manager’s Report and Update: Main Street road work, revaluation progress, EMS
In advance of the Aug. 19 Select Board meeting, the Rockport Town Manager produced the following report and update. Town Manager’s Report and Update August 19, 2024. Project Updates. This week, our crews returned to Main Street to resume our efforts of brush cutting and ditching along the stretch of Main Street between Route 1 and Simonton’s Corner. Next week, a contractor will be grinding up the failed asphalt road base prior to paving a base coat this summer. We expect some additional drainage work will be necessary near the intersection with Park Street at Simonton’s Corner which should extend into early September. While we hope to pave Main Street with a binder coat as soon as we can after the reclamation processing, we would ask motorists to avoid the area until paving has been completed on the entirety of this section of road. The less our road crews have to contend with managing traffic and maintaining a heavily traveled road which will be dirt for a short spell, the better. We will be placing signage on either end of this section of Main Street to limit this area to “Local Traffic Only.” While we hope to have this area paved prior to the start of school, motorists should be aware of these issues.
