Gallup Road Project Delayed to Next Year
Norwalk City Engineer James Widman says reconstruction of Gallup Road will not finish this year but likely next year. Bids will be invited this year, with timing uncertain. Three slope stabilization schemes near Dr. John Chauvin’s property are under study along with a concrete block wall and brick wall options. The city will use part of 965000 State Issue I bonds, with over half used to rebuild Linwood Bridge, as costs rose from the 1972 estimate of 340000.
