Guilford Eyes $12M in Road, Seawall, Bridge Improvements By Aaron Rubin Staff Writer
The Guilford Engineering Department is eyeing several infrastructure improvements in the Sachem Head section of town, along with upgrades to a bridge over the East River that provides access to the eastern part of town near the Madison border. One of the key projects involves Falcon
Road, which has been reduced to a one-lane route for the past few years due to storm damage, according to Town Engineer Janice Plaziak. The proposed work will elevate the road by 18 inches and replace the existing seawall with a taller structure. “The goal is to make it more resilient,” said Plaziak. She explained that the current seawall along Falcon Road stands only a few inches above the road and has been
“undermined from wave damage.” The new wall will be built higher than the elevated road to better withstand future coastal impacts. The town has secured approximately $7 million in state funding for the project through the Local Transportation Capital Improvement Program (LOTCIP). The work See Guilford page 7
