The Town of River Falls is responsible for the maintenance and repairs of the Town's 60 miles of roads & highways. The services range from pothole repairs in spring to rural ditch mowing in summer, to snow plowing and removal in winter. Maintenance crews also remove debris from the roads and ditches.
We generally have two employees in the Roads Maintenance Department. Our goal is to have all town roads plowed within twenty-four hours of a storm, with main roads being plowed first. Of our town’s 60-plus miles of roads, about 30 are classified first priority plowing and sanding roads. The balance will be plowed and sanded as time allows. The town’s goal is to maintain the roads as well as weather, equipment, and budget allow.
Roads given number one priority are major and minor collector roads as defined by the state. Number two roads are the daily traveled school bus routes. Number three roads are the daily traveled milk routes.
Pursuant to Section 349.16 of the Wisconsin Statutes, seasonal weight restrictions are being imposed on all Town of River Falls roads, effective Friday, March 6, 2026. Effective this date, the Town of River Falls roads will be restricted to 10 ton per tandem axle and 6 ton per single axle until further notice. Our website will be updated when these restrictions are lifted.
