Tewksbury To Receive More Than $900K in Ch. 90 Money
State release bridge and highway funds.
(Editor's note: The following information was submitted by the office of state Rep. Jim Miceli.)
State Rep. James R. Miceli, D-Wilmington, announced recently that the Chapter 90 monies (money that goes back to the towns for maintenance of roads) was released for the towns of Wilmington and Tewksbury for FY 2013.
The Chapter 90 Program was enacted on March 23, 1973, by vote of the Public Works Commission to entitle Municipalities to reimbursement of documented expenditures on approved projects. Funds must be allocated to roadway projects and related expenditures.
Rep. Miceli is the ranking Democrat on the Joint Committee of Transportation which moved the Chapter 90 legislation.
- Wilmington is to receive $765,427.00.
- Tewksbury will receive $929,889.00.
“These monies play a critical part in the maintenance of roads in the two communities”, said Miceli.

Julia, I understand your need for work to be where you mentioned. Unfortunately the whole town needs work on our roads. In addition to the roads crumbling, sewer covers are sinking. I guess what I want to say is that we all need work done on our streets.

I agree East St from Shawsheen to the warehouse is REALLY bad! I have to slow down almost to a stop on the rail road tracks as to not have my front end shake apart.

What about the bridge that has been out of commission on Brown Street, totally detouring traffic for the past 2 years? I believe we have to set out priorities.

Mary: I dont live in that area, just travel it daily- wreaks havoc on the car. I am in complete agreement that there are PLENTY of town roads that need attention!

Could some one prop up the part of Rt38 ( one of our Town's showcase) from Shawsheen to Walgreens. Its embarrassing inviting some one who would be driving on that part of the Rt.38.
