2021 Annual Overlay Program |
The Department of Public Works is scheduled to begin the Annual Overlay Program Monday, Aug 2. The following streets have been designated for milling and paving in 2021:
- Bettin Dr.
- Burnett Rd.
- Cory Rd.
- Evans Farm Rd.
- Lord Sterling Dr.
- Mark Twain Dr.
- Morris Pl.
- Peach Tree Way
- Willison Park Rd.
The program is expected to last 3-4 weeks with an estimated completion date of Aug 21. Initially the roads will be milled to remove the old pavement, and then resurfaced with new asphalt.
Delays are to be expected on the designated roads as well as all adjacent roads. This project is weather related and, therefore, the completion time may be extended if crews are delayed by rain or inclement weather.
