Repaving projects are underway throughout Georgetown and are expected to continue through early September, according to recent city news releases.

The city is using two different processes to reseal the roadways including chip seal, which applies a layer of emulsion to the road followed by small gravel and then a sealant, and the Cutler process, which uses a recycle-in-place technology that removes the existing asphalt, mixes it with emulsion and reapplies it to the road surface.

Drivers are asked to reduce their speed and increase distance between vehicles to reduce problems created by loose gravel from the chip seal treatment. Construction crews are expected to remove loose gravel each day.

Cutler process repaving work on Williams Drive between Lakeway Drive and Serenada Drive was completed Aug. 18, and crews began resurfacing the roadway with a chip seal treatment between Serenada and DB Wood Road on Aug. 19. The project could be completed by Aug. 21.

Other chip seal projects include repaving portions of the San Gabriel Heights neighborhood near Leader Road as well as Rockmoor Drive, which is scheduled to be completed Aug. 21-24, and in the Katy Crossing neighborhood, which is scheduled from Aug. 24-25. Sealant is scheduled to be applied to those roadways between Aug. 26-28.

Crews also began work Aug. 19 to repave streets with the Cutler process in the River Bend and Country Club neighborhoods. This work is expected to be completed Sept. 4.

According to the news release residents will be notified of the work by door hangers and electronic message boards.

During scheduled paving work vehicles should not be parked on the street and driveway access will be limited when paving equipment is on the roadway, according to the news release.

All work is scheduled to be completed between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m., depending on the weather, according to the news release.

Transportation Department staff said work could cause delays and lane closures throughout the scheduled repaving process.
