Another key project that will add to the success of the trail
is the rehabilitation of the historic Windham Depot district. Voted by the
citizens of Windham as a Historic District in 2003, the Board of Selectmen
chartered the Depot Advisory Committee to address the status of the area and
to present recommendations for future use.
DuBois and King of Nashua, has been
awarded the architectural engineering and project management contract in
December 2009. Hawkins Construction has been awarded the Prime Contract. We plan for Phase I construction, (stabilization) to start
on March 15, 2010 and finish in June 2010.
NOTICE June 1, 2010
We are
pleased to announce that the long anticipated Depot Improvement Project is
well underway!
Users
of the Trail are advised that during the project construction period, which is
anticipated to continue until mid-July, access
to the Depot parking area will be prohibited.
This
is a strict requirement for AARA funded projects. Unfortunately we request
that users refrain from walking on the site until announced as open.
Although
the parking lot is complete, the site is still considered an AARA construction
site and access prohibited.
Pedestrian/cyclist Trail
users will be diverted around the parking area, to allow uninterrupted passage
from the Windham section to the Derry Trail. We offer our apologies in advance
for any inconvenience this may cause, but are confident that the end result of
this disruption will be well-appreciated by all visitors to the Depot and the
Trail.
Construction Pictures!
Members of the WRTA participate on the
Depot Advisory Committee and are excited for the future vision for this
location. Below is the conceptual design.
