This stretch of West Hyerdale Drive in Goshen will be closed while it is repaired.

A 300-foot stretch of West Hyerdale Drive in the Woodridge Lake development in Goshen will be closed from Wednesday until Aug. 31 at the latest while it is repaired.

The section of road between Canterbury Court and Bentley Circle will be repaired for $143,699 by Andrew J. Palker Jr. and Sons of Northfield, the low bidder. The Board of Selectmen awarded the contract for the job on Thursday.

The goal is to complete the project before the opening of school so the road can be used by school buses. Half of the road will be rebuilt and the rest will be repaved. The section of road that needs rebuilding was built on faulty material, according to First Selectman Robert P. Valentine, and is sliding toward Woodridge Lake.

Selectmen will dip into the town's road improvement budget of $167,050 to fund the project.
