Grafton Highway Superintendent Herb Hasbrouck and Town Supervisor Allison Kirchner reported they had received a letter from the NYS Department of Transportation informing the Town that the State will begin ditching and repairing 45 small culverts on Route 2 starting in Brunswick in the spring of 2011. Work that requires diverting traffic to County Route 84 and Route 7 will be done during the school summer break. At other times there will be lane shifts with only one traffic lane open. It is believed the work will go from Brunswick to the former Grafton Elementary School.
