SOUTHWICK – According to Southwick DPW Director Randy Brown, a contractor for the DPW will start crack-sealing a number of roads and streets throughout town on Friday. The mini project should take three to four days.
The DPW will be using $50,000 of their budget that they received from Chapter 90 funds on this project and will continue sealing roads until they run out of those funds.
“We have a list of roads that we’re going to do and were going to do as many as we can,” said Brown.

It has been confirmed that the first two neighborhoods in town to get worked on will be Sheep Pasture Road and Klaus Anderson Road. Other roads that may get worked on include sections of Vining Hill Road, North Loomis Street, Granville Road, Point Grove Road, and Southwick Hill Drive.
Brown wanted to reassure the public that Sheep Pasture Road and Klaus Anderson Road are the only areas in town that are definitely getting crack-sealed. The other streets and roads listed are possible locations.
“This work is in conjunction with our pavement management program,” said Brown.
The DPW adopted the pavement management program in 2014, and the crack-sealing project is an annual task in order to satisfy the requirements of the program.
