Share article

CABOT – Two weeks ago Fenoff and Son Excavating out of Danville cut all the trees on the Lovely Road job site in phase 1 of a FEMA project to replace the bridge, said town Road Foreman Sid Griggs. “The bridge replacement is NOT starting now. . . Fenoff has told me the pre-cast structure is being built as we speak.”

Clearing along Lovely Road in Cabot has been done in preparation for a FEMA bridge replacement scheduled to begin after July 1 this year.

Griggs expects to hear again from Fenoff when they get an idea of when the structure will be completed and said he hopes to let the community know a month before work begins. “Fenoff cannot begin working on the project until after July 1st. We did not pursue trying to get additional permits that would allow the work to commence outside of the construction season.” 

“It is going to take months for the pre-cast structure to be built,” he reported.

The town has sent out over 80 letters this winter to everyone in the immediate area explaining the process of closing the road and overall workings of the project.

Griggs said he will post updates on Facebook and Front Porch Forum about the project as he gets them, but the remainder of the project is not starting until after July 1st this year.
