🔧 What Is Grind & Pave?

Grind and pave is a multi-step process that includes:

  1. Grinding – Crews remove the top layer of existing asphalt using specialized equipment. This may result in a rough surface temporarily.

  2. Base & Concrete Work (select areas) – Concrete base repairs, sidewalk work, or related improvements may occur before paving.

  3. Paving – A new layer of asphalt is installed to create a smoother, safer roadway.

  4. Striping & Final Touches – Lane markings and final adjustments are completed following paving.


Work Hours

Monday through Friday: 7:00 AM – 5:00 PM

  • Work may begin as early as 7:00 AM

  • Traffic lane restrictions and tow-away enforcement begin at 8:00 AM

  • Weekend work is allowed; however, none is anticipated at this time

*Schedules may change due to weather or unforeseen conditions.


🚗 Traffic, Parking & Access

  • Temporary lane closures and traffic delays should be expected

  • Driveway access will be maintained, though brief delays may occur while crews work nearby

  • On paving days, vehicles may need to be temporarily relocated to allow asphalt placement and curing

  • Please observe posted “No Parking / Tow Away” signs on construction barricades for exact dates and times

  • Allow extra travel time during construction hours


🔊 Noise & Construction Activity

Residents may notice:

  • Construction noise from grinding and paving equipment

  • Increased truck traffic in the area

  • Dust and vibrations during grinding operations

These impacts are temporary and necessary to complete the work efficiently and safely.
