PAVING FOR TODAY CANCELED DUE TO INCOMING RAIN

05/12/2026

While we have typically completely shut a section of road down so we could pave a new road in 1 full pass so there is no seam to crack, the section of Shimpstown road that is currently Being done does not allow for that option. We do care that residents have access to their homes and services that need to get in and out. There for, tomorrow’s project will be to complete 1 side of the remaining portion of road, followed by the remaining side on Thursday. Thank you ahead of time for your patience and understanding.

Paving project update, Base coat of blacktop will be placed today 5/12/26, if things go well, the top will be started this afternoon. There is a possibility the section of Shimpstown road from the intersection with PunchBowl road to the Thomas’s farm house will be closed to traffic for a period (Worst case scenario) until it sets up. The school district is aware and will adjust accordingly.

Grinding off the transition “hump” at the connection to the “relocated road” and stoping there with shoulder repairs.
The “sharp turn” will be “ straightened out” to a more conducive radius. There will also be some radius changes at the intersections of Shimpstown Road and Punchbowl Road. The base layer will then be placed on this area 1 lane at a time to be able to continue vehicle travel.
