Asphalt Resurfacing Preparation Begins

Posted on Friday July 16, 2021

Preparation for the 2021 Asphalt Resurfacing Program is set to begin within the next few weeks.

2021 Asphalt Resurfacing work includes repairs to existing maintenance holes and catch basins, replacing sections of curbs and sidewalks, subsequently followed by milling and paving of the roadway. The work is expected to be completed by the end of September.

To complete the work safely, temporary lane closures may be required and drivers may experience some delays. While the contractor will have measures in place to ensure safe pedestrian access, caution is requested when walking through the construction area.

Work will be performed between the hours of 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. Monday to Friday and include the following locations (click on the following hyperlinks to view each location):
