The Spinney Road sidewalks are now complete, and crews are beginning work on Middle Street the week of May 6th. As part of this project the City is also replacing the sidewalks on Middle Street from Aldrich Road to Willard Ave. The existing sidewalk will be replaced with a concrete surface.  

The preconstruction meeting for the Islington Street Reconstruction Project is on Thursday, April 25th, at 6:30 p.m. in the Levenson Room at the Portsmouth Public Library. All members of the public are invited to attend. City staff, along with the contractor, Severino Trucking, will be in attendance to discuss the project, the schedule, traffic control, and impacts during the project. Work on the project is expected to commence the first week in May.

The City will also be celebrating Arbor Day on Friday, May 10th, from 7:30 a.m. to noon at Community Campus. Meeting Tree City USA requirements, the Parks and Greenery Department holds an annual event to observe Arbor Day and issues a proclamation.
