DUMMERSTON — Road Foreman Lee Chamberlain told Selectboard members Aug. 21 that the Dutton Farm Road project is going well, is on or under budget, and is taking a bit longer than the three weeks the project was planned for.
Chamberlain cited unexpected ledge, rain, and more material to excavate than expected as factors in a delay of about a week.
“It's quite a project,” he said.
He added that he hoped to have the road passable for kids to traverse by the time school starts.
Also in his report to Selectmen, Chamberlain confirmed that the Green Iron Bridge is on Rice Farm Road. He proposed placing a yield sign at the south end of Quarry Road so that Rice Farm Road would have the right of way.
Selectboard Assistant Laurie Frechette said she will check on what is required to change the traffic ordinance to allow the sign.
