Streets & Highways Section
The Town of Bel Air Department of Public Works Streets and Highways section provides road maintenance and snow removal services for approximately 47 miles of roads in the town boundaries.

The Department of Public Works administrative staff receives requests for a variety of services directly from our town citizens.
