The intersections at Nashua Road and County Road in front of Bedford High School and at Liberty Hill Road and County Road in front of McKelvie School will remain 4-way stop intersections through the end of the school year. On May 25, Bedford Police Department met with the school district, the Department of Public Works and our engineering consultant and decided to extend the temporary change.

Tree Clearing and Other Summer Construction Projects
The Bedford School District completes significant maintenance projects every summer. McKelvie is having an older section of roof replaced and getting an upgrade to two student bathrooms in need of replacement. At Peter Woodbury, the parking lot is being replaced and traffic flow is being reconfigured. You may notice this project in late June or early July when the trees in front of Peter Woodbury are removed to make way for the expanded parking lot.
