The major construction is nearing a completion with the installation of the final asphalt surface layer scheduled for early next week. We request vehicles are not parked along the street during working hours (7:00 AM to 5:00). Cars may be parked along the street during non-working hours.

On the day of final asphalt surface paving, we also request trips along Pine Street are limited to help facilitate construction and provide a better final product. Once the asphalt is rolled for the final time, vehicles are allowed to drive on the roadway.

The morning of the asphalt surface paving, a thin layer of tack coat (or oil) will be placed on the existing surface. This can be driven over; however, we request you please drive slowly to help prevent the tack coat from getting on your vehicles.

Thanks again for all your patience and understanding throughout the entire construction project. We hope that you are satisfied with the overall project and improvements made to your neighborhood.
