Road Maintenance and Weather-Related Roadway Concerns

County Posted on February 04, 2026

Wilkes County Offices and the Wilkes County Board of Commissioners are not responsible for clearing roads or road maintenance following inclement weather.

Road maintenance and weather-related roadway concerns are handled by the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT). City-maintained streets are handled by the Town of Wilkesboro and the Town of North Wilkesboro.

To help the public better understand how road-clearing priorities are determined during winter weather, NCDOT’s Snow-Clearing Policy can be viewed here:

To report road conditions or request service on state-maintained roads, please contact NCDOT directly using one of the following methods:

• Submit an online request:

• Call NCDOT Road Maintenance:

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
