Select Board discusses Athens Road culvert upsizing and funding
Summary
Board members examined options for upsizing the Athens Road culvert, discussed permit and hydraulic study needs, and referenced a $56,000 grant with an approximately $11,000 local match for the project.
Town officials and highway staff discussed design options for the Athens Road culvert upsizing, including metal culvert options and concrete box culverts, and whether a hydraulic study would be required. Members compared costs, noted access and road‑closure impacts, and referenced engineering details such as opening spans and potential sizes.
The chair stated a funding figure for the related agreement: "That agreement is $56,000...with an $11,000 match (around $67,000)," and members agreed the grant and match numbers would need confirmation as engineers finalize recommendations and permit needs. The board did not vote on funding tonight but directed staff to continue permit verification and bring back a narrower cost estimate and timeline for construction.
