Revised Leesburg Milling and Paving Schedule for Fall 2011
Leesburg, VA (September 26, 2011) – The Town of Leesburg’s Public Works Department has
revised the Fall 2011 milling and paving schedule. 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 schedule below is subject to inclement weather delays. Milling and paving must be done
under dry conditions.
The following road segments are scheduled for night milling and paving work, and are
highlighted in red on the attached map. Revisions from the previous schedule are italicized:
1. Edwards Ferry Road, from Route 15 Bypass to 1840 feet east
