It started with traffic cones. Then, they began marking the Bell and gas lines with little red and yellow flags. I must admit to some curiosity! I asked our local radio station on FB. They told me to contact the township.
Citizen journalism at work! I actually emailed the county (this IS 2016!) and the PR person responded.
"As per the Director of Public Works, there are going to be some culverts replaced, the existing asphalt is going to be pulverized, new granular added and then the road will be repaved with the addition of a paved shoulder.The work is going to start next week and is scheduled to be completed by the end of June."

Locally, there was a lot of work done on the bridge on #7 last year, so I'm not sure if there is much going on this year.
ReplyDeleteI often think councils or other public offices do huge works at the end of their financial year, to make sure they get a similar or better budget allowance for the next year. Once done, your road will be a whole lot safer.
ReplyDeleteHopefully the work goes smoothly.
