CONWAY — The Main Street Project might be able to start in 2020 after all, according to Town Manager Tom Holmes, who said he got word from New Hampshire Department of Transportation that a historical review process for both the eastern and western ends of the project can be separated.
The western portion runs from West Main Street to the Four Corners; it involves rebuilding the road and replacing a water pipe with leaded joints. The eastern portion proposes two lanes curving north and a third one “slipping” east on Route 113 past the library. It is this portion that could impact the library.
