As part of a project to improve safety along Marlboro’s roads, the Highway Department will be replacing and upgrading GUARD RAILS on Higley Hill, Augur Hole, North Pond, MacArthur, and South Roads. This work will be done on May 5th, May 7th, & May 8th, 2026. During this work, the roads WILL NOT be closed to traffic, but there may be intermittent delays to insure the safety of the road crew. The Highway Department greatly appreciates your patience during this work.

Thank you, Your Marlboro Highway Department

The department would also like to take this opportunity to remind you that the proper speed for navigating these SPEED TABLES is 25 MPH, higher speeds should not be attempted.

Again thank you for your patience and please watch your speed through the Marlboro Town Center.

Your Marlboro Select Board & Marlboro Highway Department.

As you may be aware, Green Mountain Power is planning resiliency projects to bury electrical lines and harden overhead lines this Spring/Summer 2026 to help keep customers connected during damaging weather.  The work is currently scheduled to start in May and finish in Mid-July. Right now, GMP is planning projects for Moss Hollow, Lucier, and Hamilton Roads.

GMP team members attended a recent meeting with residents and some Town officials to answer questions about the project, including how they will be providing updates on work schedules and locations, maintaining road access for residents and emergency crews during the projects, and how they will handle specific questions about equipment and aesthetics along the routes where they are doing this work. 

Some key information to know:

• Regular updates on project work schedules and locations will be provided to the Town by GMP on a weekly basis.
• In addition, there will be updates as needed during the week. GMP will be working with the Town Administrator who will publish these updates on the Town Website (below), Marlboro Facebook, and Front Porch Forum as received by the Town Administrator.  This schedule will also be available on the Town Bulletin Board as well as hard copies in the Town Office.  Please monitor these sources of information.  
• GMP personnel Tim Jones (802-353-0243) and Kristin Carlson (802-229-8200) are available for questions about the work, timelines, equipment, aesthetics, etc. and can visit you at your home.  You can call or text Tim and Kristin from GMP, Nick Morgan, the Marlboro Town Administrator (802-212-9873), can also be reached via text and can act as a conduit to GMP, though reaching out directly to the GMP personnel noted above will yield the fastest and most accurate information.

The benefits of a robust electrical grid for Marlboro are very important and we will do everything in our power to make this process as smooth as possible, and we are working closely with GMP so that you have the information you need. 

Thank you very much – Your Marlboro Select Board (Molly Welch, Jeff Skramstad, Kate Kirkwood).

As you may be aware, the Select Board hosted a meeting with Green Mountain Power to provide access to GMP to ask questions and raise concerns.
