PLYMOUTH — April 28, 2026 — The Plymouth Select Board on April 28 greenlit an ambitious 2026 roadway program that aims to bring the town’s three-year total of repaired or preserved roads to 100 miles. Despite concerns from residents and some board members over the use of “chip seal” resurfacing, the board voted 4-1 to move forward with a plan that prioritizes cost-effective pavement preservation over more expensive full reconstructions, citing a critical need to address road deterioration following a harsh winter season.
The Full Story
The center of Tuesday’s discussion was the Department of Public Works (DPW) 2026 Preliminary Roadway Program. DPW Director Bill Coyle and Town Engineer Rick Bosse presented a plan to treat 26 miles of roadway this season, consisting of 15 miles of rubber chip seal and 11 miles of traditional paving (mill and overlay or reclamation).
