Beginning this week, the Narragansett Bay Commission’s sewer construction project on Greenville Avenue will extend work to the area adjacent to Salina Avenue, weather permitting.
To date, 2,609.5 linear feet of 16-inch water pipe has been laid, while 1,445 linear feet of 12-inch sewer pipe has been installed, along with 6 manholes.
During the construction period, Greenville Avenue will be open to local traffic only. The project is adding 7,000 linear feet of new sewer from Salina Avenue to approximately 1,000 feet west of I-295 and will upgrade water service in the area. Electronic message boards and detour signs will direct traffic to alternate routes. A police traffic detail will and NBC’s inspectors will be on site during all working hours. In order to minimize construction duration and limit disruption, the Town of Johnston has approved extended working hours from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday. There will be no blasting or mechanical rock removal after 5 p.m. Greenville Avenue will be open only to local residents on Greenville Avenue and side streets, school buses, emergency vehicles, mail carriers, and trash/recycling collection. Access to residential driveways will also be maintained. For more information about the project, please visit the presentation on the Narragansett Bay Commission's website, www.narrabay.com. Other inquiries may be directed to the NBC’s Public Affairs Department at (401) 461-8848. In the event of an after-hours emergency, the NBC may be reached at (401) 572-3142.
