Western Ave Project

Joint Sewer & Water Project by Kennebunk Sewer District (KSD) and Kennebunk, Kennebunkport & Wells Water District (KKW)

Starting March 31, 2025, KSD and the KKW Water District will begin essential upgrades to the sewer and water systems on Western Avenue. This joint project is part of our commitment to improving infrastructure reliability, ensuring safe and efficient services, and preventing future disruptions.

Temporary traffic detours and increased construction noise. Construction crews and equipment will be working in the road.

Access may be limited to at certain points, but crews will work to minimize these disruptions.

Regular updates on project progress and any changes to access through the project website.

Project Duration: March 31^st - May 16^th

Work Days: Monday to Friday, 7:00 AM - 5:00 PM

---

April 14^th through April 18^th (Week 3):

• KKW's crew will continue to install new water main, starting in front of #34 Western Ave and working easterly. Flaggers will control access through this section. Expect minor delays if you need to pass through this work zone to reach your destination.
• KSD's contractor, Curtis Earthworks will be working in the area in front of Kennebunk Outfitters. Their construction zone will not permit anyone to pass through except emergency vehicles, if necessary. A few driveways will have limited access and may need to coordinate with the Curtis Earthworks foreman for access.
• Two zones of construction are shown below. KSD will occupy an approximately 200'-long stretch in front of Kennebunk Outfitters. The zone shown below for KKW represents the entire week's work. The crew will occupy a much smaller zone day-to-day, and flaggers will manage the cars that have to pass by the KKW zone.

• The road will be open to the normal traffic pattern on the weekend.
• The entrance to Mike's All Day Breakfast will not be blocked. All customers, employees, and deliveries should approach from the west.
• Everyone other than people accessing Mike's or the businesses behind it should pass through the Village Marketplace parking lot from Port Road.

April 21^st through 25^th (Week 4):

• Curtis Earthworks will continue installing sewer main in front of Studio Lane.
• KKW's crew will continue to install water main in an easterly direction between Lobster Lane and Port Road.
