Road Work is compiled from reports from the Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTRANS), Waterbury Public Works, and other local highway departments.
Guptil Road bridge work
Work is under way now on Guptil Road on Bridge 4 (actually the third bridge from Rt. 100 heading to Waterbury Center) just south of the Kneeland Flats Road intersection.
A temporary traffic light signal should be installed early this week that will be used to signal alternating one-lane traffic through the work zone, according to Public Works Director Bill Woodruff.
The town road crew asks motorists to please slow down traveling through the narrow work zone. The road will remain open during the rehab project which is expected to take until mid-July to be completed.
Ashford Lane/Kennedy Drive
Two projects are underway in the Ashford Lane/Kennedy Drive neighborhood on lower Blush Hill. The first is the completion of the water line project from last fall. Much of this activity is off the roadway but local residents can expect to see trucks and workers staging materials and supplies along the route. This project replaced the water line connecting the reservoir at the end of Raspberry Lane to the municipal water system near the Best Western Inn.
Meanwhile, the paving project to resurface Kennedy Drive, Ashford Lane and Acorn Drive has begun. Asphalt will be removed and the roadways will be graded and rolled before new pavement is done in several weeks, according to Public Works Director Bill Woodruff.
Sidewalks on Park Row
Sidewalk reconstruction is under way on Park Row near Randall Street. That project is expected to take this week and is the final phase of sidewalk replacement in the neighborhood which started last year.
State projects
