TIGER Project
Rogele, Inc., the Borough's contractor for the TIGER Project, continues to work along the south side of B Street between Fairground Avenue and Factory Street. The contractor's two crews completed demolition/removal of existing sidewalk and curb along the south side of the street; installed electrical conduit for the new street lights, excavated the areas to be occupied by the new rain gardens, formed and poured new curb, sidewalk, and driveway aprons, and installed fire hydrants. 

The concrete subcontractor to Rogele worked on forming and pouring two of the new rain gardens to be located on the south side of B Street.  The subcontractor’s work was delayed due to difficulty in securing rebar needed for the project.  Rogele, Inc. expects to complete the curb and sidewalk work on the south side by the second week of September, then will switch over to working along the north side of B Street.

The contractor currently expects to complete the TIGER Project construction in late April or early May 2022.

New for 2021 will be ultra-thin bonded wearing course (UTBWC) maintenance on select roads. UTBWC is a PennDOT approved treatment, sometimes used on interstate highways. It is  modified form of paving in which a polymer-modified emulsified asphalt membrane is placed, then immediately overlaid with an ultra-thin bonded wearing course of hot-mix asphalt concrete in one pass of a single paving machine. The final product will look like regular paving. This process is preventative maintenance and is intended to extend the life of our roads between full mill and pave treatment.

UTBWC will be performed on the following streets beginning Wednesday, September 22.

• South Street/Orange Street from Hillside Drive to the intersection of South/Orange
• Georgetown Circle
• White Birch from Orange Street to Georgetown Circle.
