Bear Rock Road Safety Improvements Project - Informational Meeting

Bear Rock Road Improvements Project - Informational Meeting 

The  Town of Durham is proposing a project to implement spot safety improvements on Bear Rock Road approximately 2000’ south of Mattabesset Drive.  Preliminary design has been completed and the project is slated for construction funding under the Surface Transportation Program administered by the Connecticut Department of Transportation. 

It is the Town of Durham’s and the State’s policy to keep persons informed and involved when such projects are undertaken.  It is important that the community share its concerns to assist in the project’s development.  The Town of Durham will conduct an informational meeting on Tuesday, November 27, 2012, at 7:00 p.m. at the Durham Town Hall, 30 Town House Road, Durham, CT. 

It is planned to mill and overlay the existing roadway to reconstruct the roadway cross slope, install bituminous concrete curbing and roadside safety features on Bear Rock Road.  

Based upon a preliminary assessment, the construction cost will be $240,400. 

The Federal Highway Administration will provide 90% of the construction cost with the Town of Durham providing 10%.
