Paving Details

The paving work is broken down into two major sections:

Week of April 13th - westerly portion
Week of April 20th - easterly portion

The approximate line of demarcation between east and west portions is Center Street. Note that this work is weather dependent for the particular paving operation referenced below.

Westerly Portion

This portion of the roadway work is approximately Center Street to just west of Fiske Lane.

grinding of the existing roadway is the first step, which will take 4 days +/-
grinding will remove approximately 8” of roadway
ramps in and out of driveways, etc. will be installed
base pavement within the same limits is anticipated to occur on April 17th
binder pavement within the same limits is anticipated to occur on April 18th
The work day to install both base and binder pavement will start early, 6:00 a.m. +/-, due to the process and access through intersections

Once the above work is completed, the contractor will begin on the easterly end of the project.
