Exciting Improvements to Infrastructure across Avalonia!
While the words “exciting” and “infrastructure” are not commonly used together, Avalonia’s stewardship once again leans towards the uncommon in both word and deed.
Over the last month and a half, we have been uncommonly busy, with the initiation of an impressive number of improvements on preserves throughout our service area, not the least of which was the large, single span aluminum bridge built over the east branch of the Trading Cove Brook at Glemboski-Ous Preserve in Montville/Bozrah, highlighted in an earlier post.
Each of these efforts could realistically warrant its own write-up (and perhaps some are forthcoming), but as time flea-hops along, we thought it best to share a selection in the gallery below!
Enjoy!
48 foot long bridge at Preston Nature Preserve replacing older structure (for the discerning eye, some chamfering still required on posts and handrail)
Concrete well covers have been deployed to secure a handful of hazardous wells associated with cultural features in Stonington and North Stonington
