End, Constitution Hill and Cato Hill Districts

 

WOONSOCKET, R.I.: Mayor Lisa Baldelli-Hunt today detailed updates to road reconstruction that will occur in the East Woonsocket, North End, Constitution Hill and Cato Hill Districts, starting Monday, July 26th. Roads are being repaired in these districts under the direction of the Woonsocket Department of Public Works after recent gas main upgrades by National Grid Gas Company.

Mayor Baldelli-Hunt stated, "We have collaborated with National Grid to implement an aggressive road repair schedule, according to our high-quality standards, soon after they complete their necessary gas main enhancements. This collaboration, in conjunction with our own Department of Public Works road reconstruction program allows for upgrades to our gas mains and our roadways. This has proven to be a winning combination!"

Public Works Director Steve D’Agostino stated, "We work closely with National Grid after they do their gas main upgrades so the roads they repair meet our specifications."

"Special thanks to Mike, Tim, Scott and Jonathan in our Engineering Department who oversee these operations," added Mayor Baldelli-Hunt.
