Chester Township: Micro Paving Schedule Update As Of July 1

Press release from the Chester Township:

July 1, 2021

RE: Micro Paving on Woodhull Dr., Cromwell Dr., Topping Way, Benjamin Dr., Fredrick Pl., Orr Terr., Hillas Ln., Beacon Hill Dr. (rear portion), Byron Ct., Downing Ct., Cowie Ln., Huemer Ln., Lewis Ln., Dorothy Ct., and Red Oak Row.

From the Department of Public Works:

On or about June 30, 2021, weather permitting, the above streets will be Micro Paved in order to preserve and extend the surface of these streets. Micro Paving is a process similar to sealing a driveway, but we use much stronger components. This process requires us to close one lane at a time for the curing process which can take up to 3 hours depending upon weather conditions. Once the lane has cured and traffic can proceed, we will close the other lane and repeat the process. 

Please be aware that with any resurfacing project, expect delays while the contractor is working on a street.  Residents may park a vehicle outside of the work zone if they wish in a designated area and walk to and from their homes to their vehicles while the Micro Paving process is allowed to cure. Please keep parked cars to one side of the roadway to allow construction vehicles and other personnel to access the work zone.   

As with any construction project variables such as weather, equipment breakdowns, manpower etc. may impact start times and or the daily schedule of what roads are being done on what days.  Please see the TENTATIVE schedule below.  This schedule is subject to change so please plan accordingly.  If and when there are changes, we will post those on the Township’s web page, and do renotifications via door hangers placed in mailboxes as soon as possible.  We recognize that some residents may be inconvenienced by this process and we ask that you be patient as we go through the Micro Paving process.  As always if you have any questions, please contact the DPW office at 908-879-5916 or email creiner@chestertownship.org

All residents will receive a notice via a door hanger 24 hours in advance of the Micro Sealing process.

Please note: There is a ban on all landscaping and heavy truck traffic until sundown the day your street is Micro Paved thus avoiding any potential damage from occurring until the surface is fully cured the following day. Please make sure that if your road is being done on Wednesday or Friday your garbage or recycling must be out by the curb before 6 AM.

Sincerely,

Craig Reiner, Superintendent

Township of Chester, Department of Public Works
