Main Street / Blush Hill Update July 9-16

BLUSH HILL

Work has begun to mill pavement on Blush Hill Road in preparation for paving later this summer. The operation was interrupted by a machine breakdown but was expected to resume this week with equipment back in service. Milling will be followed by work on two culverts and ditches. Afterward, paving will be done along Blush Hill and on Lonesome Trail. Traffic will be limited to alternating single lanes during much of that work. Updates will be posted when the schedule is revised.
