The state Route 25 in Brookfield was the scene of some traffic back-ups and curious neighbors as construction crews did some tree trimming along the grassy easement, including the large trunk top of a big tree of which from my stopped vehicle I could not identify. So if you want to get around town quickly, I’d advice avoiding Route 25 through the center of town. And drive carefully as crews are in the trees and doing pavement work that requires some circuitous routing around orange cones.
