WINTER 2026 HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT NOTICE

Posted by & filed under Uncategorized.

Dear Neighbors,

The Highway Department would like to advise all town residents about a couple of Winter Time items:

  1. UPDATE…UPDATE…UPDATE – SAND LOCATION: Marlboro Residents can get sand for their personal use at the Highway Garage.  The sand for residents located outside, next to the big storage tanks. It will no longer be in the shed next to the “salt” pile, as that area is no needed for more “salt”. Please DO NOT go to the main sand pile down the access road, clearly marked by a “DO NOT ENTER” sign.  Accessing at the main sand pile is dangerous and should not be attempted by town residents.  Should the sand pile in the shed be “used up”, please contact the Highway Department at (802) 257-0252 (please leave a message) or text/call Andrew on his phone at (802)212-9864 and the Highway Department will replenish the sand pile in the shed for resident use.
  2. Regarding parking on Marlboro Roadways.  The Highway Department reiterates that parking along the side of Marlboro Roadways and/or in the designated plow “turn-around” areas is prohibited.  Doing so inhibits the Highway Department in its plowing and sanding efforts and can present a hazard to both Highway Department vehicles, Emergency vehicles, and the parked vehicle.  The Highway Department greatly appreciates your efforts regarding this, and your neighbors appreciate it as well, as following these roadside parking rules will only improve the snow removal efforts along Marlboro’s roadways.
  3. The Highway Department advises that there is a significant amount of firewood available at the Highway Department free of charge to Marlboro residents.  If you have an interest in this wood, please contact the Highway Department to arrange for pickup.  Also, please be aware that this wood does need to be bucked and split for use in fireplaces and wood stoves, unfortunately, the Highway Department can not provide this service.

Thank you very much for your attention to these matters and as always, please feel free to reach out to the Highway Department by Phone (802-257-0252) –  leave message if you get the answering machine, text (802-212-9864,)  or  email: marlborovthighwaydept@gmail.com .

WINTER/SUMMER ROAD PROJECT ON AMES HILL ROAD

Posted by & filed under Uncategorized.

Dear Marlboro Residents,

The Marlboro Select Board, and the Marlboro Highway Department would like to advise you of roadwork that will be conducted on Ames Hill Road in the Summer of 2026 with some preparatory work being done over the Winter.  While the following outlines the project, a full review of the project will be discussed by the Marlboro Highway Department at the 12/13/25 Town Meeting Informational meeting scheduled for 2:00-4:00p at the Marlboro Community Center (also attendance can be accessed on ZOOM).

In the Summer of 2026, in order to facilitate water runoff and control on Ames Hill Road from South Road to Cowpath 40, the Highway Department will be “ditching” along the South Side (Right-Hand Side) of the Road.  This work should not cause actual Road Closures (though there may be occasional closure during equipment movement and placement) but may necessitate single lane traffic  in certain areas.  The Highway Department will post signage as appropriate and will conduct traffic as needed through the work area.  This project will last most of the Summer 2026 and the Select Board and the Highway Department appreciate your cooperation and patience while the Town works to generally improve Marlboro’s roads and increase their resiliency.

In preparation for this work, the Highway Department will be marking trees and brush along the project area to be removed during the Winter (25/26).  If you have any questions or concerns about this tree and brush removal, please feel free to contact the Highway Department or the Select Board via email (or in the case of the Select Board, the Board holds meetings on the 2nd & 4th Thursdays of the month and residents are always able to avail themselves of the “open public comment” time, or contact SB Assistant at TownAdmin@marlborovt.us to reserve more time at an upcoming meeting).

Regarding the tree cutting, the Highway Department would like to remind everyone that any felled tree(s) along a resident’s property can be left in place for the residents to convert into firewood (or other use).  Should there be no claim on the downed tree(s) by the landowner, the Highway Department stockpiles the trees at the Highway Garage, and any Marlboro Resident can make arrangements to secure the downed tree for their use (Firewood, etc.). 

For information or inquires on the availability of downed trees & the process, please contact the Highway Department ( marlborovthighwaydept@gmail.com ).
