Superintendent Losquadro, councilman Panico announce completion of two paving projects in Mastic and Mastic Beach

Brookhaven Town highway superintendent Daniel P. Losquadro and councilman Dan Panico have announced the completion of two paving projects in Mastic and Mastic Beach.

In the first project, Mastic Beach Road was paved from Mastic Road to Whittier Drive in Mastic Beach. This $288,777 paving project was funded in part by a $250,021 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG). In addition to the resurfacing of Mastic Beach Road, the Brookhaven Highway Department entered into an intermunicipal agreement with the Mastic Beach Fire District to install concrete curbing at the corner of Mastic Beach Road and Whittier Drive, surrounding the Mastic Beach Fire Department.

The second project, which included the paving of Mastic Boulevard, Hawthorne Street and Cumberland Street, cost $359,165 and was also funded in part by a CDBG grant in the amount of $294,997.  In addition to the resurfacing of the roadways, this project involved the installation of drainage between Mastic Boulevard and Clinton Avenue. As part of this drainage project, several trees were removed and a 30’-by-60’ retention area was excavated. In addition, two sections of Cumberland Street that were previously dirt roads were graded, widened and paved
