The Department of Public Works and Engineering announced the following work this week:

NOTICE OF ROAD CLOSURES:

Schoolhouse Road

The massive concrete structures to be installed in the center of Schoolhouse Road near the culvert are almost ready, and our contractor is scheduled to begin today, June 27th. Road closure can be expected during the entire week of June 27-July 1, and drivers should plan accordingly. Alternating traffic will be established as soon as possible but patience during this challenging phase of road and drainage improvements is greatly appreciated.

Sandbank Road Closure

To accomplish the final paving course of asphalt on Sandbank Rd. (from Highland Ave. to Industrial Ave.), the road will be closed to thru traffic between the hours of 7:00am and 4:30 pm, today, June 27.  Emergency vehicles, local businesses, and buses will be allowed access to the necessary properties.

The first round of this year's paving program is nearly completed. This represents over four miles of the Town’s 151 miles of roads.
