Question of the Day: Thoughts on Aberjona Project

Let us know your thoughts to the question below.

The . The town will  widen the river by 15 feet, which would limit the amount of flooding from the Aberjona. Construction needs to take place during the river’s low-flow period, which is between July and October.

The Aberjona is to be widened between Waterfield Road and Mystic Avenue to minimize the amount of floodwaters that overflow onto Manchester Field and into the Manchester Road neighborhood. Over the last 15 years, Winchester has suffered more than $25 million worth of flood damage due to the Aberjona River.

Now that it has begun, what are your thoughts of the project? Has it impacted your drive down Mystic Valley? Is there less parking in town? Let us know your thoughts.
