New End Date for Downtown Sag Harbor Repaving

Wed, 06/01/2022 - 18:20

The road resurfacing project in downtown Sag Harbor Village, originally slated to be finished by Memorial Day, is now estimated to be complete by June 17, according to Wendy Frigeria, a spokeswoman for National Grid.

The gas main work is complete, but during the “service upgrade phase, additional work was needed for commercial gas customers to upgrade their service and plumbing,” Ms. Frigeria said. “This also caused additional days to coordinate with the customer so our work would not interrupt their businesses.”

Mayor James Larocca made a decision to shut the work down the Friday before Memorial Day “so we could be sure that

they would leave it in the best shape they could for the weekend.” He said it was important that there were no cones or blocked-off areas going into a three-day weekend.

“In fairness to the company,” he said, “the late-appearing issues when you’re resurfacing are not unusual . . . unexpected findings in the historic right of way aren’t unusual either.” The road is 200 to 300 years old, he said, and “they’re always bumping into something down there,” despite good modeling of what lies beneath the pavement.

National Grid has been cooperative and helpful, he said. “Net-net, it’s a big gain for the community.”
