UPDATE: Thank you to the Town of Coventry Public Works department for coordinating with National Grid for the resurfacing of the selected roads listed below!
As many of you are aware, we have recently seen a bit of roadwork this spring throughout our neighborhood. We have inquired as to the purpose and time-line for the project with the Town of Coventry, Department of Public Works. These details below were provided by Mellisa Page (mpage@coventryri.org) from the Department of Public Works:
The project in question was permitted through the Town for National Grid. The purpose of this project is for the relay and abandonment of gas lines. The original permit anticipated the duration of work to be approximately one month. According to the permit the Roadways included are as follows:

National Grid and their contractor will be solely responsible for resurfacing of the roadways opened during construction. National Grid will be responsible to resurface curb to curb. “I have attached a link for your information showing the ordinance regarding Road Opening’s. I can tell you from years of dealing with utility companies as well as contractors, Coventry has one of the toughest requirements of any city or town. https://ecode360.com/6648028 “
