10/7/14 - Road has been based paved and driveways are almost completed. Waiting on subcontractor for four more driveways to be paved and installation of bituminous curbing. After that, curbing will be backed up and crew will be mobilizing to top section of Addison in hopes to get it base paved before winter. Letters were sent to residents in lower section explaining this process and the reasons for moving to the upper section before completely finishing the lower section.
9/25/14 - Draiange is completed, road has been reclaimed and Town is now flipping material and installing fabric beneath reclaim layer. Been running two crews at this locationin in an effort to get this lower section of Addison paved asap.

11/18/13 - Base course pavement was completed last week. DPW continues to work on cleanup items on the lower section.

The utility companies have been on site over the last few days installing new poles and starting to transfer wires as needed to accomodate a section of road near a sharp curve that we are shifting slightly. The DPW crew is currently working on flipping the reclaim material and installing fabric underneath it. The plan is to get theis lower section paved before the temps start to get too cold so that we have the best finished product we can. After that we will have to assess the forecast to see if we should continue this year or next year as paving in temps below 40 degrees is not recommended.
