CITY OF BEAVERTON TO REPAVE AND PATCH STREETS FROM SEPT. 28 THROUGH OCT. 8 (PHOTO)
News Release from City of Beaverton
Posted on FlashAlert: September 26th, 2014 4:05 PM
The City of Beaverton will mill and repave SW 22nd Street, SW Iris, Violet, Whisper and Whistling Courts as well as SW Whistling Way from Sunday, Sept. 28 through Wednesday, Oct. 8. Work will begin each day at 7 a.m. and be completed no later than 5 p.m. During this time, travel lanes will remain open to local traffic.
In addition, the city will also patch SW 130th Avenue between SW 22nd Street and Hart Road on Sunday, Sept. 28 and 29. Work will begin each day at 7 a.m. and be completed no later than 5 p.m. On Sept. 28, both lanes of traffic will be open and flagged for safety. On Sept. 29, there will be one way traffic going southbound from SW 22nd Street to Hart Road with flaggers.
Please keep in mind that the tack coat that is put down prior to the asphalt overlay does not clean-up easily and the asphalt itself is quite hot. For the safety of young children and pets, please keep them inside during this time.
Resurfacing streets, rather than allowing them to deteriorate, allows the city to save tax dollars (overlays are much less expensive than costly rebuilds). Beaverton inspects its streets regularly to determine which roads are in need of overlays.
"Properly maintaining our streets keeps our city running smoothly," said Mayor Denny Doyle. "By being proactive and addressing streets that need attention, we can protect the overall structural integrity and longevity of our roads."
The city will strive to complete the work as quickly as possible while providing the highest possible quality. Nevertheless, the paving project will potentially cause occasional delays and other inconveniences. All dates are dependent on the weather.
