Mountain Rd Closing Thursday, Dec. 12

Posted on December 9, 2019 by selectboard

UPDATE: We are still on for this culvert replacement on Thursday, Dec 12.

The north end of Mountain Rd will be closed to through traffic on Thursday, December 12, 2019, to make more lasting repairs to the large culvert which was temporarily repaired on Nov. 20

Expect local traffic only on the paved section of Mountain Rd from the intersection with States Prison Hollow Rd south to Preston Lane. The road will remain passable to allow the school bus through at approximately 7:20 AM. After that, there will be no through traffic over the large culvert approximately 1/2 mile south of States Prison Hollow Rd (approximately 50 yards north of where the pavement ends). Traffic will be restored when the repairs are completed.

The hope is to complete this repair in one day. If things go well, there is a chance it will be reopened for the afternoon/evening commute, but no guarantees. If the contractor uncovers unexpected problems, it could take longer.

Mountain Road Update Dec 5

Posted on December 5, 2019 by selectboard

Unfortunately, the culvert which was promised for delivery yesterday was not delivered. Therefore the planned closure and repair of Mountain Rd scheduled for today (Thursday, December 5) will not happen. The road will remain open today.

A further update will be posted when the repair is rescheduled.

North End of Mountain Road Closing Thursday, Dec 5

Posted on December 3, 2019 by selectboard

The north end of Mountain Rd will be closed to through traffic on Thursday, December 5, 2019, to make more lasting repairs to the large culvert which was temporarily repaired on Nov. 20

Expect local traffic only on the paved section of Mountain Rd from the intersection with States Prison Hollow Rd south to Preston Lane. The road will remain passable to allow the school bus through at approximately 7:20 AM. After that, there will be no through traffic over the large culvert approximately 1/2 mile south of States Prison Hollow Rd (approximately 50 yards north of where the pavement switches to dirt). Traffic will be restored when the repairs are completed.

The hope is to complete this repair in one day. If things go well, there is a chance it will be reopened for the afternoon/evening commute, but no guarantees. If the contractor uncovers unexpected problems, it could take longer.

NOTE: We are replacing the culvert with the same size and type as was removed. Due to new regulations since that culvert was originally installed, the state will not accept this as a permanent repair. Sometime this summer, it will have to be replaced with a larger box culvert. The lead time and installation of that is much longer. The concern is that the temporary repairs made a couple of weeks ago will not last until then, thus the new culvert going in on Thursday.
