Some of the night work on the Route 15 Bypass and Fort Evans and Edwards Ferry Roads in the vicinity of the bypass has been postponed until Spring 2011. The updated schedule, subject to inclement weather delays, is below. Part of the Town’s regular streets maintenance program, milling and paving is a surface replacement process that eliminates existing pot holes and creates a smooth new road surface. Milling and paving extends the life of the Town’s streets and is done on any particular street about once every ten to fifteen years. The road surface replacement process takes place in two steps. First, the top 1 to 1½ inches of asphalt is milled or ground off the street. Then, a new overlay of hot-mix asphalt is applied to the street, creating the new pavement surface. Typically, milling will be done on one day and paving will be done on the next day. During milling and paving operations, crews will close one lane of the street at a time, so motorists should expect delays. In addition, no on-street parking will be allowed during the scheduled milling and paving operations. The following night work is scheduled: 1. Route 15 Bypass, from Edwards Ferry Road to Fort Evans Road (southbound lanes) • Milling: Sunday, October 31 – Monday, November 1, 9 pm – 5 am • Paving: Tuesday, November 2 – Wednesday, November 3, 9 pm – 5 am (more) TOL PR 2010-10-21 updated fall milling & paving Page 2 2.
