DHS has resurfaced residential
roads using hot mix asphalt in the Goshen Estates neighborhood, Gaithersburg; Avery
Village, Derwood; and Wisteria Drive from Germantown Road to Waring Station
Road, Germantown. This pavement preservation technique keeps pavement serviceable
for many years.
Other resurfacing
projects completed include Black Rock Road, from Darnestown Road to Burdette
Lane, in Germantown. DHS conducted full-depth pavement patching; sealed cracks;
applied a chipseal surfacing material; swept residual stone; and repainted lane
markings.
For projects to
preserve pavement, DHS will complete full-depth patching of pavement, which
removes failed areas of pavement with hot mix asphalt. Preservation was
completed in the Hillandale neighborhood, Silver Spring in October and began in
November in the Olney Mill neighborhood. Patching will take about five weeks to
complete, weather permitting. Work hours are between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m.
DHS identifies curbs
and sidewalks in need of replacement or repair and ensure that curb ramps
comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act. When DHS is doing concrete
work in a neighborhood, residents can take advantage of the driveway
apron and lead walk repair program.
Projects were
recently completed in the Flower Hill neighborhood in Gaithersburg and
Stoneybrook Estates, Silver Spring.
