DOT Project on Hwy. 6 Begins in Paulding County

The Georgia Department of Transportation advises motorists in Paulding County that crews will be repairing and deep-patching asphalt spots on SR 6 Business this week.

Work will be done daily 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. through Thursday and will force pacing traffic. These maintenance operations and the lane closures they necessitate are weather-permitting and subject to change.

It is the DOT policy to repair and maintain Georgia interstate and state highways promptly, efficiently and economically using well-planned actiivities, such as deep-patching, proper equipment and skilled and dedicated employees.

Prompt repair of small asphalt pavement defects has significant impacts on reducing maintenance costs.

Deep-patching, which will be used in this maintenance operation, is one of the methods the DOT uses to repair deteriorated, settled, cracking and dislodged pavement.

The technique is much less expensive than other methods and provides a reasonable measure of roadway repairs and reduces maintenance costs.
