All Smooth: Hills Point Road Paved in Time for Sweltering Weekend
Members of FGB Construction of Norwalk finish paving Hills Point Road as rain moved into the area. The team paved from Compo Road South up to the I-95 overpass in today, a section of roadway that has been frustrating drivers for months after it was unevenly patched up after water main work underneath it. The work is not permanent, but will hold the community over until permanent repaving can be done later in the year.
