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.
