Summary

A municipal host told residents that Brookside Avenue bridge rehabilitation is likely to continue through November because key bridge parts are being manufactured and crews were working on rebar at the western abutment.

Ben said the Brookside Avenue bridge rehabilitation is likely to remain under construction through November and urged residents to plan accordingly. "We are looking at November to get that done," he said, noting parts of the bridge are still being manufactured and crews were drilling rebar on the western abutment that day.

The host said some materials are off-site and lead times are affecting the schedule, and that work on the western abutment was in progress during the update. He added he would welcome an earlier reopening but told residents to count on November for planning purposes.

No formal vote or action was recorded in the update; the remarks were delivered in response to a resident question about the Brookside Avenue closure. The town did not provide a more specific reopening date during the segment and did not state whether traffic detour details or interim access plans would be issued prior to November.

Next steps: residents should monitor the town's official page for schedule updates and detour information; the host said he would update the page as the rehabilitation proceeds.
