Wilton Westport Highway Changes Are Now Assured

Wilton officials report a state aid grant of 7500 dollars plus 2500 already approved will fund further work on the Wilton Westport road from Lambert’s corners toward Nash’s Corners. The plan calls for a mile more to Chestnut All and Nash’s Corners to the Westport line, financed by a 1000 dollar town bond issue. Projected route would reduce future costs and improve access to the trunk line, potentially spurring growth and altering traffic patterns through Wilton. Top local officials say construction could start by early summer and be completed with state aid, with early town meeting action anticipated in April.
