ASPHALT PAVING SCHEDULED

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 2016

 

 

On Friday, September 16th, the Paving Contractor will be installing the top (leveling) course of asphalt on W. Maple Road (between Lake Park and Southfield).  The Contractor is expected to arrive for this work at about 7:00 AM, and proceed to pave the road.  The work is expected to be completed by the end of the day.

 

If your driveway accesses the section of road between Lake Park and Southfield and you need access to a vehicle on Friday, September 16th, we ask that you park on an adjoining street.  The Police Department will be notified to not ticket cars parked on adjacent streets in residential permit parking areas.  You also have the option of parking at the Chester Street Parking Structure or on W. Merrill Street at no cost to you.  You will need to have their vehicles moved by 7:00 AM on the Friday September 16th.  Once the asphalt has been placed, and cools, the road will be reopened to LOCAL TRAFFIC ONLY traffic later in the day.

 

We will need your cooperation to ensure a successful job.  Before the new pavement is placed, the road will be swept, and a tack coat will be placed.  Once the tack course is placed, it is very important to not drive on the road, since the tack coat can stick to cars and driveways and is very difficult to remove.  

 

In the event of rain, the project may have to be postponed until a later date, and you will be notified again.  We will most likely not know of a postponement until after the day has begun.

 

We understand that the above restrictions will cause inconveniences.  We hope that you will be willing to work with us as we attempt to bring this portion of the project to a close.  If you have any questions, feel free to ask the City of Birmingham representative on site.  Or, you may call the Engineering Department at 248-530-1850.
