Maintenance Vehicles

The Highway Division of the Department of Public Works has many maintenance vehicles on the road performing maintenance tasks which are necessary for preserving the Town's infrastructure, as well as for complying with various environmental obligations.  On a drive through Wilmington streets on any given day, you may notice:

- Street Sweepers
- Catch Basin Cleaning Vehicle
- Road Grader
- Sidewalk Plows (during winter operations)
- Sign Maintenance Vehicle
- Front End Loaders
- Backhoe / Loaders

It is extremely important to realize that these vehicles travel at low rates of speed in order to perform their work.  Please take caution when seeing a maintenance vehicle and maintain a safe distance behind the vehicle, passing only when necessary and reasonable sight distance is obtained.
