LIVERMORE – North Turkey Lane, off Route 108, is getting more repairs after the select board approved spending $54,000 to have a 750-foot section dug up and 15 inches of base removed. It will be reconstructed with new gravel before it is paved.

C.H. Stevenson of Wayne had already replaced a culvert and elevated a section of the road to prevent more flooding and was going to pave that section of road.

It was decided it needed more than that, select board’s Administrative Assistant Kurt Schaub said.

The road-base needed to be replaced, he said. The money will come out of the capital road improvement account.

“There was no point of putting pavement on top of this road that moves around quite a bit,” he said. New gravel will be added as the base of the road.

The paving is scheduled to be done, Monday, Nov. 26.

In another matter, Schaub also said Wednesday, that the town had budgeted 10 percent for a health insurance increase but it came in at 4 percent. The town picks up 100 percent of employees’ health insurance but if they want insurance for dependents, workers are required to pay 100 percent of that cost.
