Bristol village project to wrap in near future

BRISTOL — Residents of Bristol and those who pass through the village will soon breathe a sigh of relief when driving downtown.

That’s because the construction under North and South streets that has kept portions of the roads unpaved all summer is nearing its completion a month ahead of schedule, according to town administrator Bill Bryant.

The project, which included replacing a section of the town’s stormwater system and upgrades to the water main in the downtown area, began in April and was originally scheduled to conclude in November.
