The Division of Highway Services
(DHS) continues road improvement projects in November. Schedules are dependent on weather conditions.
Permanent pavement patching projects
are planned for two roads in Olney: Hines Road and Cashell Road. Permanent
pavement patching preserves pavement, restoring the roadway’s structural
capacity and integrity. In these types of projects, DHS makes full depth
patches, seals cracks, applies hot mix asphalt and replaces lane markings.
Upcoming projects will take about three weeks to complete and will require daily,
short-term parking restrictions. Work will occur Monday through Friday, from 7
a.m. to 5 p.m., but some Saturday work may be required.
A three-week pavement
preservation project is also planned for Shakespeare Boulevard, from Frederick
Road to Germantown Road, in Germantown to repair and resurface the roadway. The
project includes full depth patching, crack sealing, application of a liquid
surfacing material and replacement of lane markings. Work hours will be 7 a.m.
to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Temporary lane closures and detours may be
necessary.
