Supercharger - Framingham, MA

Too bad we will have to cross a major road to go to the Panera, but still am totally stoked to have a SC here.

I used to live about 5 miles from Shopper's World. There's a crosswalk/light to cross RT 30 at that intersection.

Was there today running errands at lunch. Some good progress. Several workers there digging the trench. A much larger area was blocked off for traffic, and some new crates appeared. I'd think about 3 or 4 new crates....?

Here's some pics.

That's correct. I walk to Shopper's World from my office quite often and have to use that crosswalk. It's quite easy to navigate on foot even though there's a lot of traffic there.

And Shopper's World has several decent restaurants. And a Chipotle's for something quick. Also a Chik-Fil-A close by on the opposite edge of Shopper's World.

Here's some more pics from noon-ish today. I talked to the workers there and they said there was going to be 12 stalls and it will open in January. That seems ambitious, especially given the weather, but I'm no construction expert.

Construction at Hookesett started Dec 4th, and they went live on Jan 14th/20th, so late Jan/early Feb is possible. As long as they get the excavation and concrete work done before the ground freezes, we're probably set.

Not much changes since last pics

I can only imagine that this cold and snow is slowing things down but I hope I'm wrong... I'm pretty excited about this new installation!

I stopped by the site today, and as you'd expect, it looks like all work has stopped since the last pics were posted. It seems extremely unlikely we'll see this done by the end of the month. I hope I'm wrong.

I stopped by today, not much progress, but looks like some boxes were moved around? There seems to be one large central hole with conduit sticking out of it, I do not remember that last week?

I was there today. No change. The hole has been there awhile. You can see it in the pics I posted on Dec 21. Granted, the pics don't show it too well. You can see the grey conduit sticking out of the hole and the workers standing in the hole in the last pic of the group.

I hope they're able to start back up, given the warmer weather we're expecting next week.

Let's see what the next few weeks bring!

Anybody check on the progress here???

I drove by yesterday. All the snow is gone. I don't think there has been much progress.

Just FYI: I stopped by the spot over the weekend and I don't think there's been any progress. I was hoping with the warmer weather they may have done at least some work there, but it doesn't look like it to me.

I would guess that once they stopped, they stopped for the winter, so there's nothing scheduled until they expect freezing temperatures and snow to be done for the season. I wouldn't expect any more work for another month. I expect all the electricians are off doing indoor work at unrelated construction sites. Of course, if anyone actually knows someone who works on these and has information instead of guesses, we would all love to hear it.

There was a worker on site yesterday but I didn't have a chance to get too close...

 

[pinball_player]

When I went by this weekend, it looks like all the conduit pipes are installed. So they will need to install the super chargers and pedestals.

I got a quick look at the construction as I was driving by a day or two ago and it looks like there's been some activity at the site. Nothing major from what I could see. I didn't have the time to stop and take a closer look, though.

But it's good to see some activity. Maybe once the snow melts they can get this up and running quickly.

Drove by the other day and it looks like they're finally starting to make progress again, a crew was working on it all day.

Excellent! I'm planning on having dinner at John Harvard's this Friday night; keeping my fingers crossed!
