Revised Fall 2010 Milling and Paving Schedule
Leesburg, VA (October 25, 2010) – Due to contractor availability, the Town of Leesburg’s
Public Works Department has revised the schedule for milling and paving work to be conducted
in the coming weeks, with work now scheduled to begin on Wednesday, October 27, 2010. The
updated schedule, subject to inclement weather delays, is below with revisions highlighted in
red.
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
2. Edwards Ferry Road, from Heritage Way to Sheetz/WalMart Entrances
• Milling: Sunday, October 31 – Monday, November 1, 9 pm – 6 am
• Paving: Tuesday, November 2 – Wednesday, November 3, 9 pm – 6 am
