The city of Chamblee’s first-ever paving project is begins this week. Eighteen roads are included in the approximately eight-mile project. The total cost of the project is $2.36 million. The entire project will take approximately six to eight weeks.
First roads for construction:
Monday: Commodore Drive — Milling
Tuesday: Commodore Drive — Patching and Milling
Wednesday: Commodore Drive/Spring Walk Court/Elm Street — Milling
Thursday: Spring Walk Court
Friday: North Shallowford Road—Milling
Chamblee recently took over maintenance of approximately 76 centerline miles of roadway from DeKalb County.
“The roads chosen needed the most attention, said Mayor Eric Clarkson. “This is the first paving project that will begin to correct some of the issues with our infrastructure.”
Paving on residential streets will take place from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., while paving on North Shallowford Road. will take place from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. To minimize impacts, subdivision streets that are farthest from the I-85 bridge collapse zone will be paved first as C.W. Matthews is the contractor for both projects and will have a certified flagger in the area to handle traffic control.
Use caution while traveling through work zones, and watch for workers.
