White Street is at the top of the list of Belmont roadways to be reconstructed and repaved, as the Select Board approved a $1.7 million contract with Newport Construction Corp to undertake the 2025 Pavement Management Program.
Fourteen streets were selected in the contract, with most being “full-depth reclamation” under the PMP contract, according to Wayne Chouinard, Belmont’s Town Engineer. The low bid was approximately $200,000 higher than the estimated job cost, said Chouinard.
White Street in the Waverley neighborhood will be the first to be repaired and repaved, with work scheduled to start mid-July, said DPW Director Jay Marcotte.
“[The roadway] is already marked up and ready to go,” said Marcotte, noting the town hopes to repair White and Waterhouse Road in Winn Brook before the beginning of the school year in September, as each is close to area elementary schools.
The streets that are part of the 2025 PMP plan are:
- Cushing Avenue
- Sycamore Street
- Linden Avenue
- Shaw Road
- Laurel Street
- Underwood Street
- Oliver Road
- Marlboro Street
- Clifton Street
- Unity Avenue
- Lake Street
- Village Hill Road
- White Street
