Background:

On Thursday 03/17/22 a meeting was held at the corner of Daniel and Penhallow to discuss the schedule, scope and coordination of utility work that will be taking place. Present at this meeting were representatives of McNabb Properties, Severino Construction, and the City of Portsmouth along with abutters. As described during the meeting, the utility work being undertaken on Daniel Street will provide benefits beyond the Brick Market project. The drainage work is part of an ongoing sewer separation effort by the City. The electrical work is part of a larger plan of future improvements to the electrical infrastructure in the downtown area. This work is being paid for and coordinated by McNabb Properties as part of its land use approvals for the project. Portsmouth’s Department of Public Works is making sure work on the City’s infrastructure is done to specifications and is coordinated with other street and sidewalk improvements that are required as part of the project.

Severino Construction has prepared this detailed description of the work and schedule.

After a follow-up meeting on March 30, McNabb Properties reported:

April 4- April 22: Daniel Street is anticipated to be closed to vehicular traffic, weekdays from 7 am to 4:30 pm.

Anticipated future timetable:

April 25-May 12: Daniel Street will be open to vehicular traffic but there will be some lane shifting to accommodate the installation of conduit and some impacts to parking spaces in front of businesses where needed to effectuate the lane shifting.

Sidewalk along Daniel Street in front of 60 Penhallow will be under construction at the same time and is scheduled to be completed and returned to the City by July 3, 2022.

Please note, the above dates are approximate dates that we will strive to meet or improve upon.
