Village of Maine Roads - Damage costs everyone
If you are driving heavy loads, construction equipment, or construction deliveries please exercise caution on Village of Maine roads particularly in warm weather. Homeowners who have contracted with someone for construction or other projects requiring heavy equipment use, please discuss this issue with them and inquire about potential damage to roads. Heavy equipment usage causes the most damage to our rural roads and costs the most in repair and maintenance.
Damage to roads is a serious problem in the very warm weather we've had this summer. The asphalt can be damaged or even pulled up with the excess weight of construction equipment. Potential damage CAN be minimized when the proper precautions are taken. When they aren't, the costs to taxpayers is very high -- one mile of road construction costs taxpayers approximately $200,000 per mile! Even a short stretch of damage to a road can quickly add up to $20,000 in repairs or more.
If you or your contractor have questions -- or if you notice an area that has recently received damage -- please call the Village of Maine at 715-675=5607.
