Main Street/Blush Hill Update June 24-July 2
BLUSH HILL
Work has begun to mill pavement on Blush Hill Road in preparation for paving in the coming weeks. The operation was interrupted by an equipment breakdown on Tuesday and will resume once the machine is back in service.
Milling should take a few days and 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.
