LIVERMORE – At least two roads need emergency repairs before school buses travel over them next week.

The town has several roads that were washed out and damaged by the week’s heavy rains but the two causing the most concern are about a 400-foot-long section of Norlands Road near Strickland Ferry Road and 600 to 800 feet of Waters Hill Road near Route 4, Livermore selectpersons Administrative Assistant Kurt Schaub said.

Water washed over and under both roads, he said.

Gravel will be brought in to repair Norlands Road, Schaub said.

“Our goal right now is to get the worst roads patched up by the end of the week so the school buses can pass over them,” Emergency Management Agency Director Andrew Berry said.

Schoolchildren are on spring vacation this week.

The town crew will be doing the work, and they’ll be using a local contractor to assist with excavating, Schaub said.

Water also flooded over the north section of Turkey Lane that is already scheduled to be repaired with funding help from a Federal Emergency Management Agency grant.

Berry said he was waiting for the water to recede to assess the new damage.

There is also another washout on Turkey Lane, and about 400 feet of damage done to Butter Hill Road, Berry said. There are also repairs needed on Strickland Ferry Road, which was repaired last year but not paved yet.

Berry said a preliminary estimate of damage is for nearly $56,000, which could change once the snow melts and water recedes.

“In some instances, we were pretty fortunate the river did not have ice on it,” he said, referring to the Androscoggin.

Ice could have caused more flooding or been pushed onto roads scouring the surfaces.
