The Division of Highway Services
(DHS) continues road improvement projects in October. Schedules are dependent
on weather conditions. DHS uses several different techniques to enhance the
quality of the County’s infrastructure.
Permanent pavement patching
preserves the roadway’s surface, restoring structural integrity. In these types
of projects, DHS makes full depth patches, seals cracks, applies hot mix
asphalt and replaces lane markings. Work hours for the projects listed below
are between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, with some Saturday work possible.
- College View neighborhood, Silver Spring. Work will take about four weeks.
- Pocahontas Drive, Laytonsville. Work will take about two weeks.
