Road Improvement Project to Begin in Lower Nazareth

A "significant road improvement project" that will reconstruct and resurface five roads and parts of two others in Lower Nazareth Township is expected to begin today, Oct. 10, according to an announcement on the township's website.

The project is expected to take about two weeks, depending on weather.

To be reconstructed and resurfaced in their entirety:

• Hillcrest Avenue
• Circle Drive
• Gable Drive
• Woodlawn Drive
• Hilltop Circle

To be reconstructed and resurfaced in parts:

• Lisa Drive beginning at Hillcrest Avenue, west 10 feet.
• Maria Drive beginning at Circle Drive, west to 36 feet beyond Hillcrest Avenue.

Leaf collection in this development will also be held today. Residents should move all leaves to the curb.

The township asks that residents and visitors obey the "No Parking" signs posted by the contractor. "Vehicles will be removed if necessary," the announcement states.

The project will be completed in three phases: milling and the removal of approximately 2.5 inches of existing pavement, full-depth reclamation with cement stabilization, and the wearing course.

For the full details on each phase, visit the Public Works section at lowernazareth.com.

According to the announcement, the roads will receive a micro-surfacing treatment in 2012. Micro-surfacing "will seal the wearing course and further extend the life of the pavement."
