Town Council approves GMI Asphalt for Bell Street and Route 3 repairs

The Select Board Meeting held on April 14, 2025, in Woodstock, New Hampshire, focused on several key infrastructure projects, particularly related to road repairs and paving contracts. The discussions highlighted the town's efforts to address ongoing maintenance needs and improve local road conditions.

One of the primary topics was the paving of Bell Street. The board reviewed a proposal from GMI Asphalt for a milling and filling project, which would involve a depth of 1 to 1.5 inches over approximately 2,550 square yards. The total cost for this project was set at $48,400, which aligns with previous paving costs for similar projects in the area. The board unanimously approved this proposal, indicating a commitment to enhancing local infrastructure.

Additionally, the board discussed the necessary repairs on New Hampshire Route 3 due to a recent water main break. Only one proposal was received for this work, also from GMI Asphalt, which included traffic management plans and necessary permits. The cost for this project was quoted at $26,900. The board acknowledged the need to coordinate with local property owners regarding traffic routing during the repairs.

Overall, the meeting underscored the town's proactive approach to infrastructure maintenance, with plans to move forward on both the Bell Street and Route 3 projects. The board's decisions reflect a focus on ensuring safe and accessible roadways for residents and visitors alike.
