CHATHAM: Traffic calming

The work on Route 41 in the village of Chatham is proceeding. Crews are widening the highway, one lane at a time, to make room for the central concrete islands that will be installed in an attempt to slow traffic along the busy road. One island will be built north of the village, the other one south of it. For now, motorists have to negotiate a zigzag course while the work is being done.
