Town sets Ray Woods Road paving for Sept. 8 and backs resolution to ask NYSDOT to post speed limit
Summary
Highway Superintendent Kevin Denton told the board Ray Woods Road will be paved Sept. 8–12, 2025 and recommended a posted speed limit (35 or 40 mph). The board passed a resolution requesting NYS DOT post a limit and set a road-closure notice to the town website and Facebook.
Supervisor James Monty said the Town of Lewis will close Ray Woods Road for paving the week of Sept. 8, 2025, with the road reopening on Sept. 13. Highway Superintendent Kevin Denton told the board a 2017 International Tandem truck is in Vermont for diagnosis and that the Ray Woods project is scheduled the week of Sept. 8; he recommended posting the road at either 35 or 40 miles per hour.
The board agreed a formal resolution asking the New York State Department of Transportation to post a speed limit is required; the board later adopted Resolution 25-8-3 (Posted Speed Limit) by voice vote. The town will post a notice of the Sept. 8–12 closure on the Town of Lewis website and on Facebook.
Implementation details: the board did not record a final choice between 35 and 40 mph in the minutes; the resolution directs the supervisor to request NYSDOT post an appropriate limit. The board also noted the pavement schedule but did not include an estimated project cost in the minutes.
