School Street Leads List of 'Town's Worst Roads'

The grade given to School Street, 37 out of 100, makes it the town's worst road. Which road do you believe needs the most repair?

The recent completed pavement assessment system has provided insight into some of the town's biggest road repair needs, and School Street between Marion Avenue and Old Mountain Road received the worst rating in town.

The road scored just a 37 out of 100 possible points, according to staff with the Town Engineer's office. Just behind it stands Old Ruggles Row, a dead end off of Burritt Street, and Whitman Road off of Mount Vernon Road.

"Some of these streets are already scheduled for repairs," Southington Town Manager Garry Brumback said, referring to Whitman Road, which is part of the Mount Vernon repairs scheduled near Lake Compounce. "Others may have to wait in order for the town to address it's infrastructure in the most effective way possible."

Take a look at the list of the town's "Top 10" worst roads:

Road/Location Score 1. School Street - Marion Avenue to Old Mountain Road. 37 2. Old Ruggles Row - Dead end off of Burritt Street. 38 3. Whitman Road - Cul de sac off of Mount Vernon Road. 40 4. South End Road - South of the Meriden-Waterbury Turnpike to the Cheshire line. 43 5. Smoron Drive - Dead end off of Spring Street. 44 6.
