Road Updates :

Posted Roads:

Currently there is a procedure in place which requires a permit to travel over a posted roadway if the vehicle is registered for a gross weight of more than 23,000 pounds unless otherwise pos ted . There are exemptions which include but are not limi ted to school buses, emergency vehicles, heating fuel trucks, and solid waste trucks. The permit application and $75 application fee can be filed with the Code Enforcement Officer along with a $10,000 insurance bond.

The Selectmen , along with the Road Commissioner and CEO, have been working to amend the procedure for traveling over pos ted roads and new standards are expec ted to be in place prior to the spring "mud season".

List of Posted Roads: Haleytown Road- No through trucks over 28,000 GWV

Denmark Road- No through trucks over 69,000 GWV

State vs. Local Roads:

Fryeburg has a number of roads that are State roads, meaning that they are owned and maintained by the State. The Town is not able to make repairs on these roads, although you may see a Fryeburg plow truck plowing during the winter. This is because the Town has contracted with State to complete winter snow plow service, but this contract does not allow for road repair and maintenance.

The State Roads in Fryeburg are Route 5, Route 113, Route 302, Fish Street , and Harbor Road . If you want to report issues with these roads please call 585-7000 or 562-4228.
