River Street to remain closed through Oct. 29

posted on: 10/26/2019

River Street will remain closed to all traffic on weekdays between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. through Oct. 29 while crews excavate the area to install a gas main. The gas main will cross the Makem Bridge and Cochecho River, connecting River Street with Washington Street.

While the work is ongoing River Street will be closed completely, between Washington Street and Henry Law Avenue.

Parking permit holders who need access to the River Street parking areas can do so via the Washington Street side, through the construction zone. Traffic control personnel are on site to help manage traffic.

This work was originally scheduled to be completed by Oct. 18, but additional excavation is necessary.

River Street is expected to open on Wednesday, Oct. 30. Washington Street, from Main Street to River Street, will remain restricted to one lane through Nov. 1.
