The Town of Warwick is beginning some major infrastructure projects this month. We will be replacing 4 substantial culverts and one retaining wall to mitigate against future flooding on and around town roads. The projects, totaling more than $4.4 million dollars, will replace culverts on Ball Rd., Cascade Rd., Hoyt Rd., Pumpkin Hill Rd., and the retaining wall is on Old Ridge Rd. During most of construction, the roads will remain open for local traffic. Please drive carefully in these areas as workers are present and plan travel times accordingly as there may be delays in the area.
There will be a ribbon cutting and grand opening of the newly reconstructed Airport Park Playground (15 Airport Rd) on Wednesday, May 8th at 4pm. The playground, funded exclusively with grant funds, will have ADA compliant rubberized matting allowing children of all disabilities to enjoy the playground and interact with friends and neighbors. There will be an ice cream truck on site for the ribbon cutting and all children in attendance will receive a free ice cream (not paid for at taxpayer’s expense). Everyone is welcome to join us for this event.
