The Board of Mayor and Burgesses earlier this month approved an agreement for the Rubber Avenue reconstruction with Kleinfelder Northeast for $1.2 million. The project will be paid for through the state’s Local Capital Improvement Program (LoCIP). The project will reconstruct about two-thirds of a mile of Rubber Avenue from the intersection of Melbourne and Hoadley streets to Elm Street. The project will include drainage improvements, and new sidewalks and landscaping along the road. The borough board also awarded the Rubber Avenue reconstruction project to B&W Paving and Landscaping in the amount of $8.5 million. The award has been endorsed by the Naugatuck Valley Council of Governments and has received state DOT authorization.
