Pavement grinding is complete. The contractor has now begun the road patching. Village Staff have walked the site and marked out the sections of the road base to be removed and repaired. The contractor will also be working on driveway repairs and patches.

The contractor is hoping to have the patching complete by the 4th. Following the patching, the contractor will clean the site in preparation for installing the leveling and final surfaces.

The contractor will apply an asphalt emulsion to make the road tacky in preparation for paving. Please drive carefully and slowly in order to decrease splattering of asphalt. The Village does not pay for the removal of this material if it gets on your car. Please avoid walking in the street, and instruct your children to avoid the pavement as this material can get onto shoes. Also, if you have a lawn sprinkler, please turn it off or make sure that it does not put water onto the pavement, as this will increase the likelihood that the material will not dry properly.

Shortly following the tack oil, the contractor will install the leveling binder, which is a thin layer of a bituminous pavement, to be followed by final paving. Lastly, the contractor will address final punchlist items as well as complete all required restoration.

The project is on schedule for completion by June 25, 2010, weather permitting.

During this project, there will be large equipment and trucks traveling on these streets. Please talk to your children about the dangers of playing near excavations, equipment, and material stockpiles. With your patience and cooperation, the project will proceed smoothly.
