As far full road reclamation, this work is being done at night. This is one of the last steps in the process, and can only be done when all the new curbs are in place. Full depth road restoration is essentially removing the entire road – going 2 feet down – and then installing a new road bed, sub-surface & surface (pavement). Full depth reclamation began along South Greeley Avenue from the Shell to King on the Squire’s side, including the parking lane. Next week they will work on the King & South Greeley intersection, and then work from South Greeley to Woodburn on the Eye Gallery side. While they are doing the reclamation in sections, the final 2” top coat will be done – hopefully at night – for the entire downtown. When the road work is complete, the curbs will be the proper height in relation to the road, the slope of the new road will complete the final drainage improvements, the roads will be smooth & look great!
