Guilford Vol. XXVIII Iss. 39
Town Eyes $667K in Road Improvements By Aaron Rubin Staff Writer
The Guilford Engineering Department has $667,837 budgeted for paving, milling, and drainage improvements on 13 roads. A major focus this fall is Long Hill Road, where work is planned near the intersections with Boston Post Road and Route 80.
Planned improvements include chip sealing, mill-and-overlay work, and crack sealing along the heavily traveled Hubbard Road. “It’s a major road in town with a lot of traffic,” said Town Engineer Janice Plaziak. “We’re trying to keep it serviceable.” The department also has a long-term plan for Long Hill Road between Hubbard Road and New England Road. In addition to road-
way improvements, the plan includes the potential construction of a multi-use trail on the west side of the road to improve pedestrian access, Plaziak said. This would involve narrowing some sections of Long Hill Road and using the remaining right-of-way to install a 10-foot-wide multi-use trail.
