About Trowbridge Construction & Excavating, Inc.

Winter in Middlebury Center is a long, clear, cold thing: the hills stack away toward the gorge country, Route 287 runs the valley floor, and after a storm the whole township goes white and quiet. Trowbridge Construction & Excavating, Inc. clears it — plowing driveways and private lanes, opening parking areas, pushing banks back where drifts want to close a lane again, and shoveling walks before spreading salt and cinders. A rural drive up here can be a quarter mile of grade, and getting one open is the difference between a normal day and a day spent stuck at the top of it. The trucks go out while the snow is still falling, then go out again when it finally stops. A lane cut through to the road with the ends squared off is worth getting up at three in the morning for.
