BOROUGH PAVING PROJECT TO COMMENCE MON., NOVEMBER 11TH

The 2024 Borough paving project contract has obtained all necessary PennDOT approvals. The Contractor, Glasgow, Inc., will begin work on Monday, November 11th.  The road being milled and paved under this contract will be Walnut Street from Washington Lane to Greenwood Avenue. $100,000 of this $147,777 project is being funded through the PA State allocated liquid fuel funds. 

The road will need to be free of vehicles so the milling and paving operation can take place unimpeded. All residences with driveways are asked to use your driveway for parking during this project. The Contractor will place No Parking Signs on the affected road. A door hanger notification will be hand delivered today to all affected properties. There will be Borough wide email blast updates such as this during the project.

Roadway milling operations are scheduled to take place Monday, November 11th with the paving of the roadway commencing immediately afterward on Tuesday, November 12th and Wednesday, November 13th. The Contractor intends to construct the traffic calming ‘speed cushions’ and install the thermoplastic crosswalks, stop bars and associated striping on Thursday, November 14th and Friday, November 15th.  

During the Milling operations there will be temporary and intermittent traffic delays, the road can be traveled on once milled although extra care should be taken due to the uneven surfaces and possibility of loose material. 

On the day(s) that the paving material is being applied the road being paved will be closed to traffic until the paving material can be properly applied and it is able to cool to a temperature safe for vehicular traffic.  Once the temperature is confirmed safe for travel by the Borough Engineer the road will be reopened to traffic. 

Thank you for your patience and continued cooperation while this important project is completed. If you have any questions, or need to make any special accommodations, please call Borough Hall, at 215-885-0700.
