Repaving Project 90 Percent Done, Brookhaven Says

BROOKHAVEN, GA -- Brookhaven's street repaving project is 90 percent complete, the city announced late Tuesday. Fifty-one roads (9.24 miles) have been retopped so far with more to go.

The city said June's 8 inches of rainfall, double the average, impacted several streets and delayed the paving and/or resurfacing for several days, but the project will stay on track.

“Infrastructure and maintenance are important components of the City’s strategy for 2017 and I am glad to say that the City’s most ambitious paving project has advanced steadily and punctually throughout the course of this past summer,” Mayor John Ernst said in a news release. “I remain grateful to our residents for their patience and understanding as we progress to the finish line.”

Brookhaven officials are targeting the end of August to have the work completed, the city said. The work will include a laundry list of things to do, including roadway striping, shoulder grading, manhole adjustments and material testing.
