Road Paving Projects Underway In Lower Southampton Twp.

LOWER SOUTHAMPTON TOWNSHIP, PA — A road maintenance project is underway on numerous township streets.

In August, the Lower Southampton Township Board of Supervisors awarded the Roadway Maintenance Program to Asphalt Maintenance Solutions, LLC.

The following six roads will be oiled and chipped, and then fog sealed:

1. Herrick Avenue (Crestwood to Bristol)
2. Pheasant Run (Sandpiper to dead end)
3. Overlook Road (Elmwood to Spring Meadow)
4. Over Road (Spring Meadow to cul-de-sac)
5. Cynthia Lane (Overlook to cul-de-sac)
6. Somers Avenue (Over to cul-de-sac)

James D. Morrissey, Inc. began prep work and repairs on Thursday, with plans to finish that work on Friday. AMS will begin the oil and chip process a week later.

Officials said the process will leave loose stone chips on the roadway. After 48 hours, AMS will determine when their sweeper will remove the remaining stone chips.

The final fog seal coating will be applied about 21 days later after the oil and chip has cured, officials said.

It is essential that the stone chips are left loose for a specified period to allow vehicle traffic to compact them into the asphalt emulsion. This process helps cure the new surface, ensuring a strong, long-lasting pavement seal.

JDM will mill and pave the following 12 roads:

1. Avenue F (2nd Street to Avenue E)
2. Lockwood Lane (Russet Lane to Bristol Road)
3. Over Hill Road (Harding Avenue to Orchard Lane)
4. Brookside Drive (dead end to Short Lane to Woodland Road)
5. Orchard Lane (Dolton Road to Skyline Avenue)
6. Harding Avenue (from bridge at 2nd Street to Franklin Avenue & from bridge at 3rd Street to 6th Street)
7. Orchard Lane (Central Avenue to dead end)
8. Riverview Lane (Summit Avenue to dead end)
9. Ruth Street (Lindbergh Avenue to Bustleton Pike)
10. Oak Road (Woodbine Avenue to dead end)
11. Arrowhead Drive (Libby Lane to Creek Road)
12. Woodchuck Lane (Woodside Avenue to dead end)

JDM will begin the milling and paving early next week (weather dependent).

JDM will post notices on the affected streets. Please take note of the postings if you live on any of the listed streets.
