This summer we searched out a new road base supplier because our long standing previous supplier had a sharp increase in price. We found a new guy that is very competitive in price and hauls from a closer gravel pit which means less time/cost for trucking.
We added 11 loads (~25 tons each) of class 6 roadbase to the roads in early July at about a 40% less cost per load using the new supplier.
Slight repairs were needed to the river crossing after the torrential downpour and severe river flooding over the road last week. Some edges of the concrete covering on the downside of the crossing had broken off and some areas loosened from the speed and force of the water.
We had a couple yards of concrete delivered. Tim Niichel did the project with some volunteer help from Mark Pomeroy, Michael Guertin and Paul Guarnere. It was overall a simple fix of patching some washed out areas and weakened edges. Thank you Tim and volunteers for securing our road/river crossing.
Lastly, the many rain runoff "dips" in Remo, Marnel, and Bankers lane performed wonderfully during last weeks torrential rain and flash flooding carrying large amounts of runoff water across the roads without damage.
