CABOT – In a Thursday, May 29, report, Cabot Foreman Sid Griggs reported work on “Menard Road is moving along well. The Fenoff crew installed the new culvert yesterday and began backfilling. They will continue to work on the headwalls and backfilling before the weekend rain to allow water to flow through the culvert for the weekend.”

He added that Menard Road was planned to be closed Tuesday, June 3, to remove the bridge and build the road surface up to travel level.”
Griggs reported Jug Brook Road was due to be closed Monday, June 2, as planned.
In response to a question about whether Blodgett Road is a viable option to bypass Jug Brook Road from East Hill Road in Woodbury to West Hill Pond Road in Marshfield-Cabot, Griggs said, “it’s a Class 4 road.” Class 4 roads are not maintained by Vermont towns. Griggs would only say a proper vehicle is needed to travel a Class 4 road. “But I’m not going to say if it’s a viable option or not.”
Griggs said work to grade Cabot’s road is ongoing. “I’ve had one guy and then, at least one day a week I’m working alone. Between this and the weather, I am trying to get around to all the roads.”
