Project Information

This project includes milling off one to two inches of the existing roadway and the installation of new asphalt. The new layer of asphalt is a maintenance measure used to help extend the life of the existing roadway.

·       Driving over the asphalt after it has been placed is not advisable until after the contractor has finished rolling it, which is completed almost immediately after the asphalt is placed.

·       Driving on the asphalt too soon may result in loose asphalt being kicked up onto your vehicle or create markings on the new asphalt.

·       The asphalt will be soft for the first day and vehicle motions, such as power turns, while stationary may deform the surface.

·       During this process, please do not park on the street until the next day after construction has been completed.

·       Detours may be required for some areas listed below.

·       More details will be released in advance of the work.

 Alternate routes may be necessary during construction; please plan accordingly, drive safely, and thank you for your patience and cooperation.
