Project Overview
Starting in April 2023, the Woburn Sewer Replacement project (EU190) will replace sewer mains in the following areas:
- Woburn Street from Fraser Street south
- Woburn Street from Texas Street to Barkley Boulevard
- Barkley Boulevard from Woburn Street to Newmarket Street
- Yew Street from Carolina Street to Texas Street
Once complete, the impacted areas will be repaved, and all pedestrian ramps made fully ADA accessible.
Project Status – March 2024
Minor main replacement will be done on Fraser Street near Woburn as well as replacement of pedestrian curb ramps on Woburn from Texas to Barkley to upgrade them to ADA compliance in preparation for paving in April.
In April 2024, work on the pedestrian curb ramps, road grinding, and surface regrading will resume around Barkley Village. Asphalt overlay work will take place on Woburn and Yew Streets at night during the week of April 22-25.
Additional paving work will continue once the weather is warmer and drier in Spring 2024. At this time, we will re-pave Woburn Street from Texas Street to Barkley Boulevard.
In the meantime, two remaining sections of sewer main will be replaced – one on Cornwall Avenue near the Oak Street lift station, and another short segment on Woburn Street near Fraser.
Due to challenging soil conditions and the depths of excavations necessary, installing the sewer mains has taken longer than expected to ensure the safety of construction workers and the community.
Construction Impacts
Flaggers will be present. Minor detours may be needed for specific sections of the work. Access to businesses, as well as local access to homes and for emergency vehicles, will be maintained during construction. Construction is expected to conclude in Spring 2024.
Thank you for your patience.
