Town of Newcomb - Temporary Closing of Roads
The Town of Newcomb, Essex County New York, Highway Department advises that there will be a temporary closing of certain roads, on or about March 15, 2024 to any vehicle, with a gross weight of more than Twelve Thousand pounds (12,000 lbs. or 6 tons), as in past years. Erection of proper signs will identify the specific roads. The exclusion shall remain in effect until the removal of the signs as directed by the Highway Superintendent. All heavy-duty contractors, well drillers, haulers of concrete, sand, logs, lumber, gravel, crushed stone, blocks, fuel oil gasoline and similar items should take notice and arrange their work schedules accordingly. Cooperation during spring thawing will protect the public investment in our roads.
