Quaker Road is paved.  Last week workers joined the new roadway with driveways and side streets and created swales alongside the road to conduct water to drains.  This week, working nights, Conti Construction crews will pave King Street from Starbuck’s up the hill to D’Agostino’s.

By Friday, August 27 or the following Monday, August 30, the new south bridge lane will be opened to traffic, and demolition of the remaining north lane will begin.  Hard to estimate how long demolition will take until it’s underway, but there is still hope that that the new lane will be completed before winter.

Stone masons continue work on the new south wall of the bridge.

When will the rest of the roads in town be paved?
The roads in my neighborhood (Chappaqua Ridge) are a mess.
There are potholes and “band-aid” patches of asphalt, which will crumble during the first snow fall.
Does the town have a paving maintenance plan? If so, when are the roads in my neighborhood scheduled to be milled and re-paved?
