Windsor Highway Department

2024 Route 9, Windsor, MA 01270

Route 9 Live Cam!

Hired by Select Board

Description

The highway department is responsible for maintenance of town roads - about 30 miles of paved roads, 25 miles of unpaved roads, and 5 miles of unmaintained roads. Maintenance includes plowing snow, tree removal, grading dirt roads, mud mitigation, mowing, drainage and culverts. Notably, this does not include Route 9.

Information

With a small crew and dozens of miles of rural roads, we all know how reliant Windsor is on having passable roads. The highway crew often works late nights, early mornings, and weekends to keep the roads open. But they prioritize the biggest roads with the most traffic and residents. While they aim to plow snow and respond to problems within 24 hours, the reality is that sometimes it takes longer. If you have a special need or there is an unusual circumstance, feel free to contact the Highway department, but please be patient. Mud in the spring can be particularly challenging. They are aware of wet areas, and are working on improving drainage, adding stone, etc. But the reality is that there is only so much that can be done for some roads.


In 2021, the Select Board approved a new set of Snow Policies [pdf].
