Elmira DPW Announces Upcoming Milling And Paving Of Church And Main Streets

[TTL News 317]

The City of Elmira Department of Public Works (DPW) has announced the upcoming Milling and Paving of the following City streets:

• North Main Street – From Water Street to Second Street
• Church Street –From North Main Street to Guinnip Ave

Milling of streets will begin Monday April 24th and continue thru May 3rd. During the milling and paving of North Main Street and Church Street, downtown businesses will remain open as usual but traffic will not be able to access North Main Street or Church Street. Only foot traffic will be allowed due to construction.

Final paving of the streets will occur May 8th thru May 16th , weather depending. Crews will notify residents and businesses before the milling and paving takes place.

Mill and Fill road projects typically remove the top 2-3 inches of asphalt and replace it with a new asphalt wearing course. Mill and Fill roads have 10 years added to their life with routine maintenance.

The DPW asks that residents please have vehicles removed from the street and out of your driveways before 6:00a.m. of the day your area will be milled or paved.

The streets will be reopened when milling and paving is completed. The streets will also be opened during the period between milling and paving.

Notices will be distributed to affected residents and businesses prior to the start of each road’s paving.

Our planned work is subject to change based on weather and contracted equipment availability. As always, the DPW asks drivers to please drive carefully through work zones, and allow extra time to reach your destination.
