Our resurfacing project on Carpenter Rd between Textile Rd and Ellsworth Rd in Pittsfield Township is going well!
Last week, the contractor was able to complete placing the first layer of asphalt (base course). Next week, the contractor will place the second layer of asphalt (wearing course) starting with the outside travel lanes, then moving to the inside travel lanes.
Traffic will be maintained in both directions throughout construction; However, paving operations will require a traffic shift. Access will continue to be provided for residents who live, rent or own property within the project limits throughout construction.

Our resurfacing project on Carpenter Rd between Textile Rd and Ellsworth Rd in Pittsfield Township is progressing.
Over the past week, the contractor was able to mill and pave the first layer of asphalt the outside travel lanes. Currently, the contractor is working to mill the inside travel lanes and hopes to begin paving the first layer of asphalt in the inside travel lanes by the end of this week. This work will result in a traffic shift to the outside lanes.
Access will be maintained for residents and property owners who live, rent, or own property within the project limits during construction. Please be mindful of construction when making left turns in the work zone. Once this first layer of paving is complete, the contractor shall follow the same sequence by paving second layer on the outside lanes first, then later the inside lanes.
