Annual Town Road Paving Projects - 2025

The Town has approximately 100 miles of roadway and our annual paving plan calls for the rehab and paving of approximately 4 miles of roadway each year. Before a road is paved, the DPW crew installs or replaces catch basins and culverts and sub-surface drainage. A contractor is then hired to reclaim and pave the road. DPW then adds a gravel shoulder to each newly paved section.

Town Water System Expansion to Bow Junction and Bow Mills
