A lighted message board will be placed at the East Gate on 10/6 to remind the community of the repaving event.
If at all possible, please use West Gate/Vista View to enter and leave The Preserve during repaving – and just generally be more alert to the construction events in The Preserve.
Repaving of Sharp Mountain Parkway and Sharp Mountain Lane will commence on Thursday October 15 and will continue on Friday – no work on the weekend- and then hopefully complete on Tuesday October 20th – weather dependent.
We will begin just inside the East Gate – beyond the automatic exit vehicle detection loops, to avoid the cost of replacing these. The paving will continue for 3.0 miles to the end of Sharp Mountain Parkway at the intersection of Mystic Trail – and will also include Sharp Mountain Lane as well. There are several sections of the road that will be cut out and repaired before repaving starts.
IT IS ESSENTIAL that traffic control crews be allowed to control all vehicle movements around the work areas. There will be times that hot tar will be sprayed on the road as a ‘tack’ layer to bond the hot asphalt that is then applied – but there may be times when the tack is sprayed but the asphalt is 30 – 45 minutes from being laid. The traffic control crews will keep you off the hot tack – but if you drive over this hot tack onto your concrete driveway, it will PERMANENTLY stain your driveway AND THE PRESERVE AT SHARP MOUNTAIN WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR THIS DAMAGE. Forewarned is Forearmed…
Some residents have noted that they will be out of town during this time. We suggest that you cordon off your driveway with caution tape to keep any delivery vehicles from inadvertently driving over the hot tar.
More to follow on future year plans, etc – but for now:
- 10/15 – 10/20 Sharp Mountain Parkway/Lane repaving
- Closely follow all traffic control crew instructions!
- Don’t drive over hot tar and stain your driveway!
- The Roads Committee will be onsite during all work activities
