****** TRAFFIC ALERT- EASTERN DISTRICT ROAD
THURSDAY. JULY 30 & FRIDAY, JULY 31 *****

The paving company is ahead of schedule and working around the weather- We were notified us this morning they have started the grinding of intersections (so there could be loose materials) today, Thursday, July 30.
If the weather holds, they will be paving on Friday, July 31.

This will affect the town maintained section of Eastern District Road (NH Route 104 to approximately 77 Eastern District Road).

Please seek alternate routes, so those who live in the affected area don't have to compete with traffic, other than the paving traffic. Please be alert of workers and equipment in the roadway and flaggers for traffic control.

On Friday, the state inspected the Ford Mill bridge and informed us that it should be shut down. Due to this being the only route for the homes on this road, we ask that only cars cross and no extra traffic. We are assessing the situation and working towards a plan to make the necessary repairs.
