State Aid Street Work Commencing
Preliminary steps toward building the new State Aid street across the field at the southern end of Washington street have been taken. The Highway department crew has begun clearing the right of way and next week an engineer will determine the highway line. The construction of the road bed is expected to start late this month, with two to three weeks needed to finish. The gravel road with tarred surface will ease through traffic, replacing Lemont street hill, a long-time winter hazard, and aid residents and visitors to nearby resorts in Phippsburg and West Bath who shop in Bath.
