Buckland Road Sidewalk Installation

In early September TradeMark Contractors from Bristol will start the installation of sidewalks along the west side of Buckland Road and the east side of Sullivan Avenue from Deming Street to the Town Library, with short sections on Ellington Road and Oakland Road.  As part of the project the Buckland Road bridge over Plum Gulley Brook will be extended to provide space for the sidewalk.  The traffic signals at Deming Street, Terry Office Park and at the intersection with Ellington Road and Oakland Road will be modified to include pedestrian push buttons and crossing indicators.  Lawn and driveway areas disturbed by construction will be restored.  The work will continue into next year with completion by the fall of 2019.

The roads will be open to traffic all of the time in the construction area.  Access will be maintained to all properties along the roads during construction.  There will be traffic delays due to this work and one lane will be closed to traffic for much of the time when construction work is active.  Motorists are advised to drive slowly and use caution on the roads during construction.

If you have any questions regarding this project, please feel free to call me or Bobb Grillo at 644-2511 ext. 257.
