Annual Street Improvement Project
Microsurfacing is an application of a liquid asphalt/stone aggregate mixture coating over the road to extend its useful life. This process helps extend the life of pavement quickly and inexpensively. Microsurfacing also cures quickly, allowing the roads to be open to traffic much faster than with traditional paving. The following roads are scheduled to undergo microsurfacing beginning either September 4 or September 8:
- Forbes Drive – Dunbar to Meeting House
- Croghan Drive – Forbes to South End
- Donegal Drive – All
- Shannon Lane – All
- Stewart Drive – Forbes to Cul de sac
- Sussex Drive – Ascot to Meeting House
Dry milling involves the mechanical removal of the top 1 1/2 to 2 inches of existing road surface to remove unsound material and to facilitate surface drainage. After the milling occurs, crews will repave those sections of roads. The millings are also reused in various construction projects for the Borough. The following roads are scheduled to be milled and paved as part of 2020's Street Improvement Project. Work is scheduled to begin on September 2.
- D Street from between Waggoner's Gap & Pitt
- E Street between College & Franklin
- West Street between G & K
