More storm-damaged roads to reopen in Halifax

Wednesday, November 30, 2011 — Issue 129

HALIFAX — The town of Halifax is slowly making progress in repairing roads that were destroyed by Tropical Storm Irene.

According to Selectboard member Edee Edwards, Amidon Road between the Massachusetts line and Franklin Hill Road has been reopened. Work continues on Green River Road between Thurber Road and the Guilford Town line, and on the middle of Stowe Mountain Road. These roads are still closed for construction.

Contingent upon weather, Edwards said that Stowe Mountain Road is expected to reopen by Dec. 2, while Green River Road is expected to reopen on Dec. 5. Check with Road Commissioner Brad Rafus (802-368-2803) or the town website, www.halifaxvermont.com, for up-to-date information on the roads.

Bridges remain out at Deer Park Road between Josh Road and Green River Road, Reed Hill Road, which is not accessible from the intersection with Branch/Collins, and Hale Road at the Guilford town line.
