One of the road crew was injured by a reckless driver on East Hill Road. The person slammed into the backhoe bucket at great speed, then fled the scene with his vehicle spraying coolant everywhere. The road crew member is hoping to return next week. But, obviously, his recovery is the top priority. He was in the cab at the time facing the opposite direction at the time. The State Police are looking for the driver, who has been identified. PLEASE EXERCISE CAUTION WHEN DRIVING ON ANY OF OUR ROADS AS THERE ARE MANY CREWS OUT DOING REPAIRS.

THESE ROADS ARE IN THE PRELIMINARY STAGES OF RECOVERY. LOCAL TRAFFIC OR WORK VEHICLES ONLY.

Rec Field Road - The washout is being addressed but still not passable. Hopefully by Friday.

Mill Street Bridge in Village – temporary bridge structure has arrived. Assembly and placement are the next steps. Look to mid to late next week for a passable corridor.

LOWER ROAD – NO ACCESS TO BARRE TOWN, TAKE MIDDLE ROAD

ROUTE 2 – now open to one lane traffic. [website moderator updated this from Bram's original road report]

MAXFIELD ROAD – LOCAL CONTRACTOR HAS CUT A PATHWAY VIA ADJACENT FIELD. THANKS TO THE LANDOWNER FOR GIVING PERMISSION
