The 2024 road paving program is under way in South Fayette Township.
Mele & Mele & Sons, Inc. of Braddock is conducting milling and asphalt paving on more than 3 miles of roadway in Abele Business Park, Fairview Manor and other areas of the township.
A new, 26-space public parking lot will be paved in Boys Home Park. Paving also will occur at a new salt shed facility in Fairview Park, at the corner of Mayview Road and Recreation Road.
Work started in April.
The paving contractor will notify residents before work starts on their street and post no-parking signs 48 hours in advance.
The multistep paving process takes up to two weeks on each street, depending on weather and the road surface. The first step is to mill, or grind off, about 3½ inches of the top pavement. About a week later, a 2-inch asphalt binder course is applied. Finally, the roadway is topped with a 1½-inch layer of asphalt wearing course.
Public Works has been completing road repairs and storm inlet work to prepare for the paving contractor.
Any of the listed streets that cannot be completed this year, due to weather or other factors, will move to the 2025 program.
