Road Work

• Residents and motorists are advised that major roadwork will continue on Avery Hill Road, Tucker’s Run, and Windward Lane.  This will include road surface milling followed by repaving.  Avery Hill Road will be subject to complete closure at times between major intersections which contain the workzone; at a minimum motorists should anticipate one-lane traffic and associated delays.  This notice is provided that motorists, and especially local residents, may plan for these travel restrictions.  Residents living within the workzone will still have access to and from their homes.  Access will also be maintained for emergency vehicle traffic. 

• Residents and motorists are advised that paving in the Aljen Heights neighborhood will continue into mid-August.  At a minimum motorists should expect one-lane traffic and associated delays on affected roads.  Residents living within the workzone will still have access to and from their homes.  Access will also be maintained for emergency vehicle traffic.  Residents are advised to refrain from parking in the roadways from until the paving work is complete.
