General Project Information
 

This spring and summer the Town of Richmond is replacing waterlines on Tilden Ave., Bridge St. (from the bridge to the intersection with Cochran Rd.), and Cochran Rd. (from the intersection with Bridge St. to the cemetery). At their June 1, 2026 meeting, the Water and Sewer Commission added a replacement of the waterline on Huntington Rd. (from the intersection with Bridge St. to the Stone Corral) to the project. 

The work has commenced on Tilden Ave., and Cochran Rd. Work on Bridge St. and Huntington Rd. will occur later this summer. See the project schedule for more details (note, the schedule is subject to change due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances). 

We will keep the public informed about the progress of the job and any expected traffic interruptions.
