Board hears plan to extend road, block access after Dec. 10 to prevent off-road vehicle damage
Summary
Highway staff reported plans to extend a road to reduce vehicles getting stuck and discussed using Jersey barriers or gates after Dec. 10 when the road is formally closed. The board will decide on barriers and equipment needed for the extension work.
Highway staff described efforts to extend an access road to reduce incidents of vehicles getting stuck and prevent trucks from driving over snowmobile trails. A staff member said, “I'm blocking up both ends of the roads after December 10 because the road's closed,” and noted options could include Jersey barriers or gates.
The board discussed who would make the decision and whether current equipment is adequate for digging through rocks and roots at the site; staff will follow up with National Grid to locate the power line before continuing excavation work.
