Resurfacing Projects To Begin March 15th

Drivers in Dalton may experience some delays next week, but it will be for a good cause. The City of Dalton's Public Works Department will begin road work on approximately 5 miles of city streets on Monday, March 15th that will last most of the week.

The paving project involves approximately 5 miles of city roads and will include milling, resurfacing, thermoplastic pavement markings, and raised pavement markers on 13 City streets.  The project includes work on all or a portion of the following streets: April Street, Avenue ‘A’, Brookwood Lane, Burgess Drive, Fifth Avenue, Keener Street, Lake Street, Lesley Drive, Maney Lane, Oxford Street, Smith Street, Spring Street, and Thornton Avenue

Northwest Georgia Paving, Inc. of Calhoun, Georgia is the primary contractor working with the City on this project. Work will begin Monday on Thornton Avenue, and then move to the residential streets following completion there. Work on all of the streets listed above will occur mostly during the daylight hours. Motorists should expect temporary lane closures during work zones while the work is being performed. Motorists should reduce their speed and exercise caution in these work zones. On residential streets, homeowners should turn off yard sprinklers and avoid placing brush/rubbish in the street while work is taking place.
