Public Works Road Work

TEAGUE DRIVE BRIDGE CLOSURE EFFECTIVE JUNE 5, 2013

The DPW has closed the bridge/culvert on Teague Dr between the intersection of Pawtucket Land and Parker Circle.  This bridge had been previously reduced to a one lane bridge.  It has deterioriated to the point that a permanent closure was executed as directed to this department through the Engineering Department and the State of NH DOT.

This is a "Hard Closure" and will remain in effect for an undetermined amount of time.

MAILBOX REPAIR POLICY

The Town of Salem, New Hampshire’s Mailbox Repair Policy for the repair of mailboxes and/or posts that are damaged from the Town’s snow removal effort is as follows:

  1. DPW, after notification by the resident, will immediately initiate a work order to investigate the complaint.

    B.    DPW will, as soon as practical, dispatch an employee to assess and, if  determined to be caused by Town operations, authorized the necessary repairs.

   C.    If, in the opinion of the DPW, the existing box/post is beyond repair to  accept normal delivery it will be replaced with a standard white or black  mailbox and a 4X4 wood pressure treated post supplied by the Town.  Should it be impossible, due to ground conditions, to install a new ground   post at this time, a temporary repair will be attempted so as the residence will be able to receive mail until spring. A DPW tag with a note will be  attached to the temporary repair that explains that we will be back at a  later date to make the permanent repairs.

This policy in no way is meant that the Town of Salem, NH accepts responsibility for damage within it’s ROW as stated in RSA 231:92-a nor does it imply that the Town accepts responsibility for interruption in mail service for any length of time until a repair temporary or permanent can be made.

This policy outlines the Department’s intent to maintain good public relations with the residents in the community even though state RSA exempts the Town for damage within their ROW’s.

As approved by the Salem Board of Selectmen
