Roadwork Begins on Kent Place Blvd.

UPDATE (1:44p.m.): The City is reporting, via it's Facebook page that the road repair project will include curbing work and some residents may have to vacate their driveways. See below for the full details.

A sign on Kent Place Boulevard says road repair work will begin tomorrow. According to the city's construction updates website, drainage work and roadway resurfacing, which will include milling of Kent Place — the removal of the asphalt from the street in preparation for a new section of asphalt — is expected to last through June.

The website isn't specific, but says that residents should expect "minor" inconveniences. The work will affect Kent Place Boulevard from the New Providence Avenue, Mount Vernon intersection to intersection with Springfield Avenue near downtown.

The City of Summit Facebook page reports on the work schedule:

Kent Place Blvd update: Over the next few weeks the city will be working on curbing, sidewalk, and driveways where needed and as marked in the field. Residents do not need to vacate their driveways unless their individual driveway is marked for construction. (only a handful are).

Next they will work on the High Street/Kent Place Intersection for a week or so. We will continually update our webpage (www.cityofsummit.org) A member of DCS can be found on site during construction and the contractor’s foreman are typically very cooperative with our residents.
