Sharon highway crew plans culvert work and brings heavy equipment to elementary school
Summary
Highway Supervisor Allen Wight told the Selectboard crews will replace culverts (notably on Beaver Meadow Road) as part of Grants‑in‑Aid, requiring closures; the crew will also bring eight machines to Sharon Elementary on June 4 so students can name the equipment.
Highway Supervisor Allen Wight reported on June 1 that rolling after grading has extended the life of several town roads and that dust levels remain low, noting rolled roads did not require chloride applications. He said crew work this season includes ditching and culvert replacements, with Beaver Meadow Road identified for culvert work that will require temporary road closures under Grants‑in‑Aid funding.
Wight told the Selectboard the crew plans to bring eight pieces of highway equipment to Sharon Elementary School on Thursday, June 4 so each elementary class can name a machine — a community outreach event the department anticipates will engage students. The Highway Garage Structural Inspection report was referenced during the meeting and will be discussed further at the Garage Committee meeting on June 4 to refine recommendations to the Selectboard.
