🚧 ROAD CLOSURE – PAPER MILL ROAD 🚧

Paper Mill Road near Route 202 is CLOSED until further notice due to a significant roadway washout caused by today's heavy rainfall.

⚠️ Please avoid the area and use alternate routes. Do not attempt to drive around barricades or through the closure.

💧 Why Drainage Work Matters

You’ve probably seen our crews working on drainage around town lately.

While it might not always look like major work, proper drainage plays a big role in preventing flooding, protecting roads, and avoiding bigger issues down the line.

These projects help keep our roads safe and reliable, especially during heavy rain and storms.
