The work involves separating storm drains lines from sewer mains, replacing some water pipes and repaving streets.
CHICOPEE — The start of a $13 million construction project to separate storm drains lines from sewer mains, replace some water pipes and repave streets has been delayed a week.
The Department of Public Works initially expected the project to begin on Aug. 20, but a delay with the contractor, F & J Construction of Ludlow, will push back the start to Monday, Department of Public Works Superintendent Stanley W. Kulig said.
Starting Monday, Beauchamp Terrace will be closed for at least two weeks between the hours of 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. Residents will be able to drive down the street.
More than two dozen streets in the Chicopee Falls area will be closed later because of the project, he said.
