Preliminary groundwork for a new stadium on the Pawtucket riverfront has begun.
PAWTUCKET – The redevelopment of the former Tidewater gas plant site on Pawtucket’s riverfront into a modern soccer stadium and associated amenities reached its most visible stage yet this week, with new environmental work beginning Monday, March 15.
Over the next two weeks, tangible progress will be evident on-site as geotechnical engineers and environmental professionals will be on the Tidewater parcel and 45 Division St. property across the river performing additional site work to further the progress of the project.
Some selective clearing will begin to clear pathways to provide equipment access to the site for drilling to better understand the site soils and constraints on the property. Soil sampling will also be completed and groundwater monitoring wells installed, according to representatives for developer Fortuitous Partners. The work will be active for the next month or two.
