Engineers have been given the go ahead to study a deteriorated portion of East Main Street in Bradford, in working to find a fix for the crumbling section of municipal infrastructure.
At Tuesdays meeting, Bradford City Council unanimously approved a $2,300 topographical study meant to identify a solution for deteriorating roadway and retaining wall conditions on the west side of East Main Street, just north the Fraternal Order of Eagles at 49 E. Main St. The study was commissioned after city workers at the location observed shifting pavement and cracking where the pavement meets the curb.
There has been some deterioration and washout of materials. The retaining wall that holds the pavement is starting to crack, said City Clerk John Peterson, who added that a wooden sidewalk is not the issue.
Based on the findings of the upcoming study, engineers will recommended a solution for the problem, which city officials say has been ongoing for years.
Peterson maintains the roadway is not in danger of collapsing. He said a road closure is not anticipated but could be necessary depending on what course of action city engineers recommend.
In the city engineering study theyre going to look at earth conditions and whether the retaining wall has shifted or has any leanings and give a recommended course of action, whether that means reconstruction of the wall, additional support of the wall or filling the roadway, Peterson said.
The study had yet to commence on Wednesday. Once started, engineers have four weeks to complete their examination. No timetable exists beyond that.
Mayor Tom Riel hopes to have study findings before council by its June meeting and is looking forward to pursuing a more formal and permanent solution for the ongoing problem.
There has been an issue there for quite some time, deemed to not be immediate but the threat continues to get worse, Riel said on Wednesday afternoon.
Peterson also said the issue has been persistent for years and was likely exacerbated by this past winters extreme cold and dramatic temperature fluctuations.

FITCHBURG -- Two young girls were sent to area hospitals when a retaining wall behind 51 Pine St. collapsed Saturday evening, according to Deputy Fire Chief Thomas Dateo and acting Police Capt. Linda Swears.
They said the girls were playing on the concrete wall when a portion of it collapsed with the girls underneath it. Swears said the girls are 6 and 9 years old.
She said one of the children was unresponsive at the time the call came in Saturday about 5:45 p.m., but was conscious and alert when EMTs arrived. Swears said the other child had her leg stuck under a portion of the wall but did not appear to have any major injuries.
Dateo said the girls were transported in separate ambulances to local hospitals. The child with the lesser injuries was transported to HealthAlliance Hospital in Leominster, and the more seriously injured child was transported to UMass Medical Center in Worcester, where she was admitted to the intensive-care unit, he said.

FITCHBURG -- The owner of Majors Cafe on Lunenburg Street was arrested on multiple charges early Monday morning after she allegedly attempted to run over her boyfriend with her car, according to acting Capt. Linda Swears.
Ellen L. Reffitt, 50, of 30 Holt St., is charged with four counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, assault with a dangerous weapon, three counts of assault and battery, and larceny from a person.
According to Swears, Reffitt and her 51-year-old boyfriend got into a dispute Monday about 3 a.m., that began inside and moved out into the street.

According to Fitchburg District Court documents, Reffitt is also due for an arraignment May 6 on charges of assault and battery and larceny over $250, stemming from an alleged incident in December with the same man.
