News Release
For Immediate Release
Leesburg Street Milling and Paving Work Scheduled To Begin
On September 23, 2013
Leesburg, VA (September 19, 2013) – The Town of Leesburg will begin its Fiscal Year 2014
street resurfacing schedule during the week of September 23, 2013. 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 milling and paving work during the week of
September 23, 2013:

• Milling: Monday, September 23rd, 7:00 am to 5:30 pm
