Islington Street Update – Severino and the City of
Portsmouth are wrapping up the final touches of the Islington Corridor
project this week. Temporary paving and clean-up will be completed
before the end of the week.
The project will resume in March/April of 2020, weather dependent. The
crews will resume the deep dig work from Aldrich to 1Bypass. When that
work is complete (ETA mid-Summer 2020), they’ll return to the Bartlett
Street intersection to install a new traffic light and make some repairs
to the intersection before finishing the dig work from Bartlett to
Albany/Columbia Street.
The project will be completed with final paving, landscaping, and
install of new street lamps to match those in downtown Portsmouth.
Get on the list for 2020! Sign up for project updates here:Islington Street Corridor Project.
