Old Farms Road Project Update
Posted on: May 3, 2024 - 11:00am
The Engineering Department would like to share updates regarding the ongoing Old Farms Road Project:
Old Farms Road - Phase I (North/South Section)
Construction on the project is going well with the contractor, Spazzarini Construction, having rough graded nearly all of the new roadway and trail areas. They are working on installation of formal drainage systems and screening topsoil and have hauled several thousand cubic yards of excess soils to Sperry Park to be used as fill material in support of construction of a new future softball field. Work in the coming weeks will include installation of processed stone road base materials and continuing to screen topsoil and install drainage. They may also work on the tie-in point at the north end of the project where the new roadway intersects the existing roadway, weather dependent. The Town will provide additional information as it becomes available.
Old Farms Road - Phase II (East/West Section)
The consultant, WMC Engineers, has progressed the preliminary design of the East/West Section of Old Farms Road to a point that we would like to present to interested residents and seek further input. The Town plans to hold a second public information meeting; details will be posted on the Town's web site and Facebook page. Like the first public information meeting, it will be held in-person and will be recorded for future viewing via YouTube video by Nutmeg TV. The consultant will review the design criteria and challenges and provide graphic representations to help visualize the proposed design. Interested residents are encouraged to attend and provide respectful input.
