As National Public Works Week continues, today we want to highlight the many ways our team connects with the community beyond their daily responsibilities.
Throughout the year, Public Works staff attend school events, career fairs, and other community outreach opportunities across Salisbury to help educate residents of all ages about the important work we do every day.
Sharing what Public Works is all about and inspiring future generations is incredibly rewarding for our team, and we’re proud to serve and connect with our community.
It’s National Public Works Week! 💙
This year’s theme, “Rooted in Service and Powered by Community,” is reflected in the dedication and teamwork shown by the City of Salisbury Public Works Department every day.
From keeping our streets clean and safe to maintaining essential services throughout the community, our team members work hard behind the scenes to make Salisbury a better place to live, work, and visit.
This video features some of our newer members of our Public Works team saying hello to the community — help us show them some appreciation!

Road Resurfacing Work Underway in Salisbury 🚧
Each year, the City of Salisbury invests in maintaining and improving our roadway network to provide safer, smoother, and longer-lasting streets for residents and visitors.
As resurfacing work continues, crews will mill and repave streets identified for maintenance based on pavement conditions, traffic volume, and overall roadway needs.
During construction, residents may experience temporary delays, lane closures, uneven pavement surfaces, or limited on-street parking. We appreciate your patience and cooperation as this important infrastructure work is completed.
Please remember to:
✔️ Slow down in work zones
✔️ Follow all traffic control signs and flaggers
✔️ Give crews plenty of room to work safely
Thank you for your continued support as we work to maintain and improve Salisbury’s streets for the entire community!

Please drive with caution in areas where work is underway. Do not park along roadways during active resurfacing, as vehicles may be towed. Access to homes and businesses will be maintained as needed.

We’re updating recycling carts starting next Monday, May 11 through the end of June! If your blue cart has a Republic Services logo, place it at the curb for three consecutive days during your regular collection week so Quality Cart Solutions Inc. crews can add City decals to it. If your collection day is Friday, include the weekend as part of your three-day window.
If your cart has not been updated with the new City decal stickers after three days, bring it in and repeat the process during your next recycling week. This is one step toward better service and a more Sustainable Salisbury. For more information, please visit: salisburync.gov or call 704-638-5260.
