Highway superintendent outlines East Row, Sportsman Road work and culvert installations
Summary
The highway update covered scheduling of East Row for Sept. 4, a chip-seal project on Sportsman Road with seven culverts to be installed, and ongoing maintenance on Klondike and Risky Ranch roads; the board discussed public complaints about speed and chip-seal surface.
The town’s highway official reported that East Row work is scheduled for Sept. 4 and that a chip-seal project on Sportsman Road is underway, including the installation of seven culverts to improve drainage. The superintendent described the work as a one-inch chip seal for surface preservation rather than a full overlay and said the project is cost-effective for the town’s needs.
Board members acknowledged that residents may complain about the chip-seal surface and speed changes but said the work is standard for keeping rural roads in serviceable condition. The official noted the recent installation of overhead garage doors at the highway garage and said additional work at Klondike will follow completion of the Sportsman Road project. No specific match was required for a referenced grant for some of the work.
“East Row is now scheduled for September 4,” the highway official said. The board asked the superintendent to keep the Select Board informed of scheduling changes and to notify affected residents before work begins.
