MORE ON ROAD CONSTRUCTION

On Friday I told you about the construction this summer along Rt. 2 in Marshfield and suggested taking Rt 15 through Hardwick as an alternate. Maybe not much help. This morning I was catching up on the news in the Hardwick Gazette and discovered work has begun on Rt. 15 in Hardwick by the Village Motel where there have been serious landslides. According to the article, trees in front of the motel have been cut and the plan is to fill in the small ponds in front of the motel and traffic will eventually be traveling directly over them. Perhaps that rather dangerous curve will be eliminated, and securing the bank that is still eroding should make traveling that route a lot safer and the homes on Glenside Avenue above more secure.

There are no traffic delays yet, but later in the season there will be. The plan is to work one lane at a time so traffic will still be allowed through. There should be no delays for a few weeks while work in the yard of the motel is being done. The project is expected to be completed by early October.
