First Selectman Releases Updated Road Paving Schedule

First Selectman Matt Knickerbocker told Patch Thursday that over the past two months, Bethel’s highway superintendent has had some challenges with scheduling contractors. Due to their work loads, contractors have at times been forced to postpone jobs scheduled in Bethel to later dates.

“ We still expect to get all of the work committed done before December, however, there have been some delays. But so far they have been minor,” Knickerbocker said.

“Things are humming along quite nicely now. Let’s just pray we do not have any hurricanes!”

Roads completed this season so far:

• Codfish Hill
• Old Dodgingtown
• Twin Maple
• Old Town
• Meckauer Cr.
• Rockwell, Johnson, BMS entrance road.
• Sections of Milwaukee Ave. (late addition; not on original schedule).

Still to be completed from Sept. 1 through Nov. 30:

• Nashville (north section)
• Nashville Ext.
• Canaan
• Plumtrees (Walnut Hill to Rockwell)
• Whipporwill

Others:

• Nashville south will receive sectional overlays in key problem areas; full reconstruction will be scheduled for next season
• Mr. Orchard, Cindy, Highland and Andrews will be repaved following new water main installations (now under way).
