Summit Roads Micro-Surfacing Project To Begin Aug. 28

SUMMIT, NJ — Summit City will begin its roads micro-surfacing project on Aug. 28 and continuing through Aug. 31, weather permitting.

During the micro-surfacing process, access to driveways will be prohibited until the application is dry. Residents should park on neighboring side streets before 7 a.m.

The schedule is as follows:

• Tuesday, Aug. 28: Norwood Avenue, Brayton School, Jefferson School
• Wednesday, Aug. 29: Milton Avenue, Cottage Lane, Johanna Way, West Lane, Rotary Lane
• Thursday, Aug. 30: Dale Drive, Rotary Drive
• Friday, Aug. 31: Gloucester Road, Canterbury Lane, Dennis Place, Weaver Street, Sheridan Road, School Avenue, Fremont Road

Micro-surfacing is a cost efficient surface treatment to renew a road surface and extend the life of the pavement. During the process, a layer of asphalt emulsion is blended with finely crushed stone for traction to protect the pavement from moisture penetration and oxidation, according to Summit City.

Emergency vehicles will be provided access to roads during the resurfacing process.

For questions contact the Department of Community Services at 908-273-6404.

If it is necessary to leave cars on side streets overnight, contact the Summit Police at 908-273-0051 to avoid being ticketed.
