The Bemis Road intersection is officially OPEN!!!!!  However, detours are still a part of the daily commute along the construction route.  Southbound on Route 12, drivers are being detoured onto Abbott Ave since the right side of the road is under construction between Benson and Nichols Streets.  Nevertheless, traffic is flowing more smoothly with the major intersection of Bemis and Wanoosnoc having re-opened.  Stay tuned for more updates or contact Jessica with any project inquiries.

A. F. Amorello & Sons (Amorello) is scheduled to continue working on the widening on Route 12 from Wanoosnoc Road to Benson Street.  This widening consists of excavation, retaining wall construction, granite curbing, concrete sidewalks, and hot mix asphalt pavement.

In addition, Amorello is scheduled to begin the full depth pavement section from Benson Street to Nichols Street

On Tuesday (October 9, 2007) Amorello will be doing a lane shift from Bemis Road to
Benson Street.  This will move traffic to the new granite curbing and sidewalk side of Route 12.  This shift will allow Amorello to proceed with work on the right side (heading south) of Route 12, which includes granite curbing and new sidewalks.

In addition, Amorello will be doing the pavement markings for Bemis Road.  

At the present time A. F. Amorello & Sons (Amorello) is scheduled to work the next two weeks on the widening on Wanoosnoc Road,  Hot Mix Asphalt driveways on Bemis Road, and the concrete retaining wall at the intersection of Route 12 and Wanoosnoc Road.  In addition, Amorello will be working on the drainage from Wanoosnoc Road to Benson Street.

Sidewalks are complete from Bemis to Benson on the left side (heading South on Route 12).  The opening of the Bemis Road intersection is still unknown and is dependent upon utility work.
