TROY, NY – The City of Troy Department of Public Works (DPW) is putting your tax dollars to work, issuing the week's weather-contingent schedule for milling and paving projects to improve our roadways.
"Maintaining our roadways is maintaining essential emergency and economic infrastructure, and improves the quality of life experienced by community members of all abilities," said Troy Mayor Wm. Patrick Madden. "As always, my thanks go to the workers of our Department of Public Works, who put themselves in harm's way and make themselves available to respond to emergencies at all hours to ensure our community can dependably rely on safe infrastructure."
This week's schedule is as follows:
Thursday, June 22
6th Ave between Federal St and Hoosick St*
* 6th Ave will remain open to southbound traffic.
Friday, June 23
Eagle St between 15th St and 12th St
Eagle St between 9th St and 8th St
Jacob St between 15th St and 11th St
Jacob St between 9th St and 8th St
Monday, June 26
Lavin Ct between Hoosick St and Park Blvd
16th St between Sausse Ave and Massachusetts Ave
Tuesday, June 27
North Lake Ave between Hoosick St and City Line
Carlyle Ave between Chelton Ave and Dead End
Local traffic will be able to access homes and businesses.
Milling is a process that removes a portion of the asphalt surface in preparation for future repaving. Paving results in a smooth road surface and safer driving conditions. Due to the nature of the materials involved in roadwork and the conditions needed for proper setting, these projects are highly weather-sensitive and thus this schedule is weather-contingent and subject to change. Work generally begins at 6AM unless noted otherwise.
Motorists accustomed to street parking in these neighborhoods are encouraged to mind posted parking restrictions to avoid costly fines and towing. Commuters should expect to encounter roadwork in the area and are encouraged to seek alternate routes of travel if possible.
