2024 Road Maintenance Report
2023-24 snow plowing was again completed with less cost than usual due to another light snow year. Unfortunately snow was replaced by very heavy rain throughout the winter. What we’ve learned over the past few years is that proper maintenance of the road requires pothole repair both in the Fall and the Spring. Tom Wallace has just completed repairs in April 2024, leaving the road in good shape for the upcoming summer.
2024 Causeway Culvert Report
The Board is pleased to report that the repair of the culverts was accomplished in February on time and under budget. It was done by a process called “slip-lining”. This involved sliding new culverts through the old deteriorating culverts, opening the causeway road surface to expose the tops of the old culverts, cutting/ removing the tops of the old culverts to expose the new culverts inside and securing the new culverts with fill material. The road surface was then rebuilt and widened over over the new culverts. The rusted out ends of the old culverts were removed and new retaining boulders were set for the ends of the new culverts.
The results speak for themselves: the new culverts are nearly invisible, the unsightly, dangerous metal of the old culverts is gone and the roadway now provides slightly easier passage for two cars or larger vehicles like firetrucks or ambulances.
