The City of #SalemMA will be commencing a construction project on Herbert Street to improve the functionality and reliability of the sewer system in the area. In order to facilitate the sewer construction, National Grid will first replace the gas pipes on a portion of Herbert Street to avoid conflicts with proposed sewer work.
A National Grid contractor will begin work on Tuesday, November 13, to replace the gas pipe on Herbert Street from the Essex Street intersection to #11 Herbert Street. In approximately two weeks, the City's contractor - N. Granese & Sons - will mobilize to the site and begin replacing the sewer pipe on Herbert Street from the Essex Street intersection to #9 Herbert Street. This work is expected to take approximately two weeks to complete. To the total time for the first phase of this work is expected to take approximately four weeks, but the schedule may be extended due to weather. Work hours for this project are 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
During this project the area will be an active construction site and drivers should be careful to proceed at reduced speed accordingly. On days when contractors are working it is important not to have cars parked on the roadway. Temporary no parking signs will be posted in advance of construction and no parking restrictions will remain in effect until construction is complete for that day. There will always be access to the street after work hours.
The National Grid contractor will return in the spring of 2019 to finish replacing the gas pipes on the remainder of Herbert Street, from #11 Herbert Street to the Derby Street intersection, and to complete final paving.
The City will hold a neighborhood meeting on Tuesday, November 20th at 6:00 p.m. at the intersection of Herbert Street and Essex Street, to present the project plans and to answer any questions residents of the street may have.
I went down to take some more drone photos this afternoon during a work break, since construction is coming close to an end. Here's a preview of your new entrance and parking lot area!

We’ll contact you when we are ready to connect your gas service to the new natural gas main.
A representative from National Grid or the contractor crew will reach out to the affected homes and businesses at least 24-48 hours in advance to scheduling the work. Every National Grid employee and contractor doing work for us are required to carry ID. For the crew to connect your gas service to the new main, they will need access to your home and appliances. Typical service line work will take one business day and during this time you will experience a temporary interruption of natural gas service. When the work is complete, a gas technician will be dispatched to turn on your gas meter relight your gas appliances. Visit ngrid.com/serviceline to view an example of this process.
In advance of planned restoration work in the historic Charter Street Cemetery in #SalemMA, archaeologists will begin archaeological field work on the site where proposed restoration of existing pathways, installation of lighting, and new plantings will occur. This archaeological field work will begin on Thursday, November 8, 2018 and is expected to last until Friday, November 16, 2018, weather permitting. During this time, the Cemetery will be closed to the public.
The project will begin by marking the property with site flags and/or paint and may include placing protective barriers around some of the tombs and headstones. Fieldwork is weather dependent and may extend longer than the anticipated closure period. Public access to the cemetery will be restricted during this phase of the project.
