Cranberry To Implement Pilot Paving Program

CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP, PA — Township officials are implementing a cutting-edge program this year in an attempt to maximize paving dollars.

Supervisors on March 6 gave authorization to bid on the 2025 Paving Program. As part of the process, the annual Superpave Program will be supplemented by a revised Cape Seal Pilot Program that organizes the Township into four quadrants. A new quadrant will serve as the paving focus, capturing entire neighborhoods instead of a few streets at a time.

Every four years, roads identified as needing attention but not requiring full milling and surfacing will undergo a new process that combines seal coating and microsurfacing. The two-step cape seal process is designed to seal existing cracks, prevent additional cracks and potholes, waterproof the surface, and provide a smoother riding surface.

In 2025, the program will focus on the township’s northeast corridor, with information to be shared with those neighborhoods in the coming weeks.
