Revised Milling and Paving Schedule for Fall 2011
Street Resurfacing Work to Resume on November 10, 2011
Leesburg, VA (October 28, 2011) – The Town of Leesburg’s Public Works Department has
announced a revised Fall 2011 milling and paving schedule, resuming work planned for earlier
this fall but delayed due to inclement weather. 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 daytime milling and paving work, and are
highlighted on the attached map.
