City of Portsmouth to Start Bridge Street Parking Lot Upgrade on April 11, 2022

The City will start work on upgrades to the Bridge Street parking lot on April 11, with an estimated completion date in mid-May. The lot will be fenced off and closed during construction. The Bridge Street Lot work includes reconstruction of the paved area, handicapped accessibility upgrades, subsurface preparations that would allow for EV charging stations and landscaping.

The work is being completed ahead of the first phase of the Hanover Garage renovations. The City anticipates awarding the Hanover contract in April, with construction starting in May. Prior to that time, DPW will hold a public meeting to answer questions and address concerns.
