The Burrillville Town Council voted Wednesday to ask the Rhode Island Department of Transportation to reconsider reconstructing Victory Highway and Church Street.

The resolution, presented as a rewrite of an earlier request the council has made for the same work, asks RIDOT to prioritize the road reconstruction now that several bridge projects referenced by the state are finished. Council members said the town has repeatedly requested the work over the last decade and that bridge construction had been the state’s reason for delay.

"Now that the bridges are all done for the most part, they can get back to the road work," a councilor said during discussion. Another councilor noted the town previously sent a "pretty strong letter" and appealed to the governor about the issue.

A motion to adopt the resolution passed by voice vote; the record shows a motion was made and seconded and councilors answered in favor.

Councilors urged continued follow-up with RIDOT and said the town would continue to press the department to meet promises made in prior years. No timeline or commitment from RIDOT was provided at the meeting.
