Our city has a schedule for road paving which was to include us during the month of June. Testing proved that more than paving was required so a complete overhaul was ordered. This involved curbs, storm sewer basins and sidewalks were to be undertaken. On Tuesday we were awakened at 6 am to the sound of construction equipment moving into our area.
By the end of the day huge machines were digging up the top 8 inches of our roadway and hauled away. In one day this was completed without interruption to our access. Wednesday curbs were cleaned and repaired where necessary and the next day new gravel was spread over the surface. The roadway was compacted and today ,Friday the paving was started and will be completed by evening.
For me this was a record. Usually we are left with a dusty road for weeks and everyone is grumpy because of the delays in completing the task. For once I saw a construction company move in a positive way and made all the residents very happy. If only every job could be done so well and quickly.
