Andover Town Planner Lisa Schwarz said this week that the end of the Main Street (Route 28) redesign project is fast approaching.
The installation of crosswalks – one of the last major components of the $4 million construction project - is now underway, Schwarz said.
A total of 23 crosswalks must be excavated, set with concrete, sand and gravel, and then topped off with brick pavers.
Newport Construction, the contractor for the state-run project, will continue working from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. this week on the crosswalks.
Schwarz said Newport must also put down a final layer of pavement, draw traffic lines, coordinate traffic signals and plant trees.
After beginning in April 2008, work will finally wind down on the project in August, Schwarz said.
