The millennium dawned for Ber-| was learned linites today when it 1 fon that the state highway comm will award contracts soon for m_nc iles of roadway that will comprise e consolidation of a new network| of roads out of New Britain, includ- ing a new road from Berlin to New Britain. Residents of this place have long bewailed the present condition of the road between the two towns. Four separate routes are to be re- conditioned at the cost of approxi- mately $175,000 and at the same time it. is learned that steps will be taken to provide adequate draining ‘or the underpass at Berlin station in Kensington which will eliminate the flooded area that crops up at every heavy rain. Because of the engineering prob- lems attached to the Beach Swamp road section, it is not believed that work will be started on this stretch | before next spring, when the road will be resurfaced for a distance of twa and a half miles south from the | Berlin-New Britain town line to Ber- lin street. This work will be an ad- ditional expense of $160,000. Tt is said by Highway (‘omvl\iski.on» er John A. Macdonald that it is im practicable to repair the road sath tactorily due to the clay sub-soil that forms the base of the road and that the only solution to the yvrub- lem is the complete rebuilding of the road. There has long been an agitation in this district for improve- ments on this road and a correction | of the underpass situation. The roads in Kensington are now under- going a resurfacing process should ald the motorists in that sec- tion and with the new project loom- ing large in the néar future, resi- dents of this place have the satisf: tion of knowing that the long battle is nearly over. The Beech Swamp road presents enginecring problems that called for | of the highway | investigation before rigid commission any action wa taken and it is stated that because of | the natural difficulties that the road offers the movement for a new high- way has been delayed. Being greatly | automobiles | used by both private e and public vehicles, the highway is in need of constant repair as the ex- | terlor coatings that have been laid over the old base have soon disap- peared under the poundings of an almost perpetual stream of traffic.
