March 5, 2003 – Public Works Department crews with the assistance of Health Department Environmental Health Division personnel will repair a ruptured sewer line at 69 Kronprindsens Gade, the lot directly across the street from Sts. Peter and Paul School, beginning Thursday.
Lower Main Street will be closed to motorists and pedestrians from the Chicken Fry shop to the traffic light at the "75 Corner" intersection until the repairs are completed, according to a release.
Sts. Peter and Paul School has been told by Public Works that the street will not be closed until after 9 a.m., the school vice principal, Barbara Kenny, said, so there will be no problem dropping children off Thursday morning. If the road is still blocked at dismissal time, Kenny said, parents should plan to meet their children at 75 Corner, or parents may walk in to the school grounds through the garage entrance at the rear or the basketball court at the side.
While repairs are under way, there will be louder than usual noise in the vicinity, the release said. The work is to stop the discharge of raw sewage onto the road in the area, it stated.
