SUMMER ROAD WORK

The 2008 road improvement program will follow the twenty-year program that has been established to assure continued care of the municipal road system.  The projects for 2008 include:

Microsurfacing:

•  Carolina Place

•  Hampton Drive

•  New Virginia Road

•  Richmond Place

•  Pennsford Drive

•  Pennsridge Court and Place.

Improvements:

• Broad Run Road (Strasburg Road to Telegraph Road)

• Lone Eagle Road ( Romansville Road to Chestnut Lane ) 

• Telegraph Road (Waltz Road to paved portion).  

Cold-in-place Recycling: 

• Ridgeview Circle  

• Sherwood Drive 

Overlay:

• Broad Run Road ( Lieds Road to Shadyside Road ) 

• Poorhouse Road ( Broad Run Road to Marshallton Thorndale Road ).  

The twenty-year program uses a pavement management assessment system along with traffic volume data to determine when and how often a road should receive a new wearing surface or other maintenance function.  In using this program it will allow the Township to maintain the 62 plus miles of roads in good condition over the period of time covered by the plan.  The plan provides a maintenance program that will work within the Township budget and liquid fuel tax revenue that is received from the Commonwealth.
