Heavy loads limited

With the coming spring also comes the thaw. Materials will expand and contract throughout the transition of the seasons and this includes roadways. Maine law dictates a 23,000 pound weight limit on certain roads in order to protect them from damage during the thaw.

This heavy load ban is in effect until April 28 and impacted roads have orange signs posted alongside them to alert drivers. The town of Gray has  released the list of restricted roads, which includes Upper Marginal Way, Spruce Drive, Colley Hill and sections of Mayall and Depot roads. For the complete list, visit graymaine.org.

Town budget feedback

Residents can give their feedback on the proposed budget at the April 4 Town Council meeting. The budget can be viewed at graymaine.org. The budget will be under discussion until early May.

All Town Council meetings are streamed and recorded on Gray Community Television, held over Zoom, and in person at the Henry Pennell Municipal Complex at 24 Main St. Links for the Zoom meetings are posted on the meeting portal on the town website before each meeting.
