A hot mix paving application will be used on Rising Sun Rd. (from Devonshire Ct. to Rt. 145), a portion of Candlewycke Dr., and Oakwood Ln. Paving of Washington St. is also tentatively scheduled.

     Carriage Path Drive (between Fairland Dr. & Elmhurst Dr.), Elmhurst Drive, Walnut Drive, Fells Creek Road, Green Hill Circle, Valley Green Drive, Scott Road and Barry Road will receive a process called Micro-surfacing, a thin restorative process that creates a stable surface on an existing roadway.  This protective coating is a warm mix of small stones, oil, Portland cement and water. Its benefits include increased skid resistance and the ability to be driven on within an hour of application.

     Several roads will be preserved using a process called bituminous seal coat. This process makes the road stronger and extends the life of a road at a fraction of the cost of regular paving.

     Roads involved in this process include: Coplay Creek Road (between Levans and Sand Spring Roads), Coplay Creek Court, Hill Street, Peach Bottom Road, Mulberry Street, Sparrow Lane, Union Avenue, Mallard Road, Mildreds Way, Newhards Place, Twin Hill Drive and Kovalchik Drive.


     The Public Works Department and paving contractors will do everything possible to minimize the inconvenience to homeowners. Emergency services, post offices and waste haulers will be notified as paving schedules become known.
