Select board reviews culvert fixes on North Road, aims for July start
Summary
Town staff and board members described culvert work on North Road, agreeing to modest extensions (two feet) to avoid costly mitered transitions; work is tentatively scheduled to begin July 7 and will include stoning, seeding and road apron adjustments.
Board members received an update on drainage and culvert work along North Road and related road-apron recommendations following a field inspection.
Ryan and Larry reported that for Culvert 7 they convinced the contractor to add a two-foot extension instead of an expensive 45-degree elbow, reducing town cost to only the material (Ryan estimated culvert pipe at about $138 per foot). Ryan said similar minor adjustments are planned for the Soulbrook/Silver Brook areas; work could begin around July 7, with seeding, mulching and stoning to follow where appropriate.
Board members discussed pavement timing and the risk of sharp crushed stone causing flats; staff said they will coordinate paving with other scheduled projects and confirm final material and sequencing with the contractor.
