Is Your Street On This Year's Road Work Agenda?

Is your street on the town's menu for road improvements this year? Phase I of GB's street paving season includes the following locations:

• Commonwealth Avenue
• Locust Street
• Giddings Street
• Ramsey Avenue
• Meadow Lane (GB)
• Stillwell Avenue
• Cooper Road

The low bidder for these jobs was Williams Paving from West Stockbridge, with a price of $592,768.80

Construction gets underway around May 15, weather permitting. Work includes reclaiming the existing pavement, reshaping and compacting the road with rollers then placing a binder and top pavement. There will also be minor drainage work involved. Milling, grading and compaction are anticipated at all locations.

Also, there will be some water main replacements on Giddings and Laurel Streets beginning in mid-April.
