SHELTON The state Department of Transportation will be resurfacing nearly two miles of road on Route 454 beginning May 23.

Motorists can expect lane closures on Route 454 from Route 110/Howe Avenue to Birchbank Road No. 1. Traffic control personnel and signs will guide motorists through the work zone. The night work schedule for the project is from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m.

SHELTON The Shelton Trails Committee is hosting a work party along the Birchbank Trail on Saturday.
The lower section of Birchbank Trail includes one stretch that becomes a muddy mess at this time of year, making navigation difficult and slippery, organizers said.
So the work party will focus on rerouting around the problem, shoring up the existing trail, or some combination of the two.
Interested volunteers should meet at the Birchbank Trailhead at 9 a.m. The trailhead is located about a mile past the entrance to the beach at Indian Well State Park, where Indian Well Road crosses the railroad tracks. The trailhead is just before the railroad tracks, and there is parking on the left immediately after crossing the tracks.
