Municipal Road and Bridge Program

At a glance

  • What: a state road-restoration grant program under which the town would pay about 33% (about $232,000) of roughly $700,000 of road work, possibly including the Brook Farm bridge.
  • Where it stands: The Council voted on 2026-10-06 to support the program; no council vote was required by the state.
  • Next: The town's project proposal is due by December.

Details

  • The Mayor said the town paved 129 roads in two years of about 660 total. A design-build bid for the Brook Farm bridge drew no bidders, and a new design firm was engaged days earlier. The town share would come from the road allocation or surplus.
