The gist
The asphalt projects on Hedgcoxe Road from Custer Road to Preston Road, Parker Road between Preston and Parkwood Boulevard and Midway Road between Park Boulevard and Spring Creek Parkway, are scheduled to complete in August, Bekele said. The project on Hedgcoxe Road resumed in late April after winter weather forced the road work to temporarily stop.
Some background
The road projects are arterial overlays, a concrete repair process that is meant to lengthen a road’s lifespan by more than a decade. The overlay reduces the frequency of road maintenance from every five years, to every 15-20 years, Bekele said. The three road projects were initially scheduled to complete in the first half of 2025.
Looking ahead
The city resumed the project on Hedgcoxe Road in late April, and expects to complete it in mid-June. After Hedgecoxe, the city will move on to West Parker Road, followed by Midway Road. The city expects to complete paving Midway in August, Bekele said.
