Major Portland Road and Sidewalk Repair Projects Being Considered

PORTLAND, CT- Economic studies of two major, more than likely costly projects were approved by the Board of Selectmen last week, the Middletown Press reported.

The projects in question are a sidewalk repair project, as well as the reconstruction of Brown Avenue, according to the Middletown Press. The board voted to have Director of Public Works Richard Kelsey work with town engineer Jeff Jacobson to develop cost estimates for both concepts.

The repair is estimated to cost between $2 million and $3 million while the reconstruction is a little heftier, estimated between $3 million and $4 million, as reported by the Middletown Press. Selectmen are expected to revisit the issue at the July 20 meeting.
