Road Repairs Update - July 17, 2023

The Northeast Kingdom got hit hard with torrential downpours last evening, and Wheelock was no exception. Our already soft and saturated roads are now extremely washed out and impassable in some spots. You should proceed with extreme caution on all Wheelock roads.

Feel free to report any road damages, however at this time it is safe to assume there is damage on just about every Wheelock Road to some extent, some obviously more extensive than others.

Damages can be reported to:

Wheelock Town Clerk – 802-626-9094

Wheelock Town Garage – 802-626-1060 (leave a message)

The Road Crew has begun work to repair closed or impassable roads/driveways today (7-17-23). Please let them do their work.

Thank you for understanding and stay safe.

Vanessa Seguin, Clerk/Treasurer

Road Repairs Update - July 13, 2023

Our Road Crew is working extremely hard to repair washed out roads, ditches and culverts that resulted from the July 10th storm. If you need to report damage to an area of your road, please do not hesitate to call 802-626-9094 (Town Clerk’s Office) or 802-626-1060 (Town Garage) to report an issue. Please leave a message on the answering service if no one answers. The repairs WILL take time; BUT they ARE working on each one of them. With more rain in the forecast, repairs may likely be delayed or require additional upkeep. Thank you for your patience during this difficult time.
