Town reiterates spring road weight limits and records Notice of Award for Valley Road bridge project
Summary
Select Board presented Ordinance #93:011 spring road load limit (6-ton limit with special-permit exceptions) and noted a Notice of Award for replacement of the Valley Road culvert with proposed Bridge No.121/076; mud-season precautions were also highlighted.
The Select Board reviewed the town's spring road load limit under Ordinance #93:011 and recorded a Notice of Award for a Valley Road culvert replacement during its March 26 meeting.
Under Ordinance #93:011 the operation of motor vehicles weighing more than six (6) tons is unlawful on Limited Weight Streets, Highways from March 1 or when the restriction is deemed necessary. The ordinance allows the Road Agent to issue special permits, after consulting with the board, if the Road Agent and Selectmen determine the vehicle will not cause unusual damage to the highway. The ordinance lists exceptions for delivery vehicles making occasional trips to residences and for any permitted business operating an empty vehicle over six tons traveling between its place of business and N.H. Route 31 and N.H. Route 10.
The minutes also record a Notice of Award for replacement of the existing Valley Road culvert with the proposed Bridge No.121/076. The board reminded residents that mud season is underway and urged caution on town roads. No construction schedule or contractor details were specified in the minutes.
