LAKE PLACID — Main Street construction projects continued this week and included the closure of Hayes Street as crews installed a new trench drain, according to village of Lake Placid officials.

The village announced that a new 10-inch waterline has been installed on Olympic Drive to School Street, and crews were testing that section and chlorinating this week. Also, the roadway excavation is now complete from NBT Bank to Locker Room 5.

Scheduled work included grading for new granite curb, installing granite curb, grading the sidewalks, water main installation.

In order to complete the Main Street construction project, detours have been established.

Southbound traffic is being redirected to Old Military Road — between the Ray Brook side of state Route 86 and state Route 73 at the North Elba Show Grounds.

Main Street is one way going north starting at the traffic light at the intersection of routes 73 and 86 (top of Mill Hill) to the intersection of Saranac Avenue and Hillcrest Avenue at the north end. This is an extension from last year’s detour route, which began at the public parking lot across from the post office. This change was made to accommodate additional water main work at the south end of Main Street.

Parkside Drive is now one way going south from the post office to Morningside Drive, and the speed limit has been reduced to 15 mph. Southbound traffic coming from Hillcrest will have to turn left onto Main Street and then right onto Parkside in order to get to the traffic light at the intersection of routes 73 and 86.

Two-way traffic is expected to resume on Main Street and Parkside Drive in July and August.

Also, Cummings Road became a one-way starting in April, when contractors for the state Olympic Regional Development Authority resumed exterior construction at the Olympic Center. Most of the current work there is being done between the 1932 and 1980 rinks, in what will be the main lobby and entrance to the new Lake Placid Olympic Museum. Two-way traffic on Cummings Road is expected to be restored by September.

Businesses on Main Street are still open daily.

There are temporary traffic lights at the intersection of Olympic Drive and Main Street and the intersection of Wesvalley Road and Saranac Avenue.

Parking is limited in the direct work areas. As crews move, parking will be restored.

Public parking lots are accessible, but there will be short periods of limited access due to work in and around those lots.
