Biddeford Public Works Director Jeff Demers distributed a media statement to alert local motorists about a temporary road closure on outer Main Street, near the main entrance of Rotary Park.
According to Demers, this section of Main Street will be closed to all traffic on April 27, from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. for a “critical infrastructure upgrade” project.
The closure, Demers said, will allow Reed & Reed Crane Service, Shaw Brothers Inc., and Superior Concrete to set a new 10-foot diameter pumping station in place.
The following are traffic impacts and detour plans:
For eastbound traffic on South Street intending to access Main Street at the intersection of Main and South streets – there will no access to Main Street during the temporary closure.
The city is asking those motorists to follow a detour route via South Street to Mount Pleasant Street or Highland Street to continue eastbound to Elm Street.
For westbound Main Street traffic (from Elm Street): Motorists must detour via Highland Street or Mount Pleasant Street to reach South Street westbound.
Detour signs will be in place to provide directions for alternative traffic routes.
Demers said it is also important to note that no emergency vehicle access will be available through this section once crane operations begin.
“We are asking the public for patience and cooperation during this closure,” Demers said. “We appreciate the public’s support for this critical project.”
