Final Paving Impact and Temporary Closures
Once grinding is complete, crews will pave the road. Paving requires three to four hours to cure. This work is anticipated to be completed in two days.
During paving, crews may need to temporarily close the road and redirect traffic around the area. Work will start on one side of the road and shift to the other side. Once paving begins, crews cannot stop or allow cars to drive on the newly paved roadway. Driveway access will be inaccessible for three to four hours while paving and curing.
