Lincoln will receive more than $250,000 as part of a state bond authorization that will result in funding to help municipalities complete road, bridge and other infrastructure improvement projects.
Every spring, the state legislature allots funding to each town based on road miles and population, said Chris Bibbo, superintendent of the Lincoln Department of Public Works. Bids on this year’s work were opened about a week ago and include paving Wheeler Road, Old Cambridge Turnpike (North) and sections of Todd Pond Road, as well as some paved-path repair on Trapelo, Lincoln and Concord Roads; repair to miscellaneous sections of berm throughout the town; and investigation of drainage on Old Lexington Road, he said.
Work is expected to begin in approximately two weeks’ time, Bibbo said.
“Fighting for local aid for Lincoln has been a top priority of mine as state representative and I’m pleased that this appropriation will provide us with the critical funding necessary to make important improvements to our roads,” Rep. Tom Stanley (D-Waltham) said in a statement.
