Highway Department
The Lincoln Highway Department is responsible for maintenance and improvement of the Town's 52 miles of roads as well as bridges, ditches, and culverts. We strive to provide high quality maintenance and upgrading of the roads to keep the travelling public safe.
The Highway Supervisor works with the Selectboard to do strategic planning to set priorities for large projects while helping assure smaller projects also receive attention. Together we work with Addison County Regional Planning and the State to secure grants as they become available, stretching our tax dollars further. Among the tasks of the Highway Department are winter plowing, right-of-way and drainage maintenance, sign replacement, and road paving.
We get out as quickly as we can during and after snowstorms, windstorms, and heavy rains to clear the roads. Please slow down in bad weather when roads are icy or snowy and when you are in a work zone.
Where We're Working This Week
This week, when not sanding and plowing, the crew will be trimming trees on all Lincoln roads.
