Upcoming Construction Schedule – Week of
April 20, 2026

Week Beginning April 20, 2026 

Weather permitting, construction activities for the Centralville Sewer Separation Project will continue in late April as part of the City of Lowell’s ongoing efforts to improve sewer capacity, reduce flooding, and protect the Merrimack River. Crews from Albanese D&S, Inc. are expected to work in several locations throughout the Centralville neighborhood. 

Where Work is Happening 

• Bunker Hill Avenue (West Sixth Street to Lakeview Avenue) 
  Water main installation and related utility work will continue along this corridor, including service connections and valve work. A temporary water shutdown may be required to complete certain connections. 
  
  A large excavator will be operating and staged on Bunker Hill Avenue for several weeks. During this time, lower Bunker Hill Avenue will be divided into two sections with no through access. 
  
  
• Hildreth Street (Bunker Hill Avenue to Ludlam Street) 
  Water main installation is anticipated to continue along Hildreth Street as part of ongoing infrastructure improvements.  
   

• Lakeview Avenue Area 
  Crews are expected to perform sewer installation work, including pipe installation and structure work. This may include short-term water service interruptions associated with tie-in activities.  
   

• Bunker Hill Avenue (West Sixth Street to Lakeview Avenue) 
  Installation of a culvert and water infrastructure is anticipated in this area, which may require an extended (multi-day) shutdown of Bunker Hill Avenue. 

Special Activities / Temporary Impacts 

A water main shutdown is scheduled on Carolyn Street on April 22nd to install a new gate. Affected parties in the following areas have been notified:  

• Boisvert Street 

• West Sixth Street Fire House (284 W Sixth Street) 

During the week of April 27th, one-day water shutdowns may occur on:  

• Homestead Road  

• Unsworth Road  

Additional short-term water shutdowns may occur on Bunker Hill Avenue. Sewer bypass and lining work will continue in the area. Property owners will be notified in advance of any planned service interruptions. 

What Residents May Notice 

During construction, residents and travelers may see: 

• Temporary lane shifts or short-term road closures 
• On-street parking restrictions near active work areas 
• Construction crews and equipment during daytime hours

City staff and contractors will work to maintain safe access for residents, businesses, and emergency services.
