CAPE ELIZABETH — Two Portland Water District projects will affect local roads through mid summer.

On Monday, crews from Gorham Sand & Gravel will begin replacing a water main on Smugglers Cove Road. A temporary main will be installed before excavation begins May 7 to replace the current 2-inch main with a 4-inch main.

The work is expected to take three to four weeks, Public Works Director Robert Malley said.

Once the Smugglers Cove project is completed, work to replace a water main along Scott Dyer Road from the lower intersection of Brentwood Avenue to Spurwink Avenue will begin.

The work will limit traffic to one way at a time. Drivers are encouraged to use Route Fowler Road or Route 77 to get to the recycling center on Spurwink Avenue.
