Overnight construction is done Monday to Thursday from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m.
Deputy Town Supervisor Adam Brodsky said construction is being done overnight to minimize disruption to the community.
"We're trying to strike a balance," Brodsky said. "We need to maintain the hamlet. There are thousands of cars throughout the day and there's a middle school. It makes it too difficult to do it during the daytime.

"We're trying to reach a balancing act," Brodsky said.
Brodsky said he expects heavy construction to be finished in May with construction being completed next November.

The improved infrastructure will make the hamlet more attractive to downtown tenants, town officials have said.
