The Piseco Road Bridge project is progressing, the new Wingwall is up and poured. The repairs to the North East Wingwall are completed. Backfilling is underway at the new Wingwall.We need to place some medium stone fill on the backside of the north East Wingwall. The damaged or missing pipes on the Road North of the bridge have been repaired or replaced. The large washed out areas have been filled. Some of the ditches have been reestablished.We still need to place more gravel, complete the ditch work and place Light Stone Fill as needed. We will also be placing Crusher Run on the repaired areas to bring the entire road back to Pre Disaster Condition.
