Current Maintenance & Construction

Crews are focusing on winter maintenance.  As weather permits, crews will be pushing back snowbanks to make room for future snow and removing buildup snowpack from road surfaces.

Tree trimming and pothole patching can also be accomplished if weather is cooperative.
