Engineer reports progress on Springfield Road, Oak Avenue work; PennDOT coordination expected
Summary
An unnamed borough engineer reported crews laying base coat and binder on Springfield Road and progressing toward Oak Avenue and Sycamore Road. The engineer said PennDOT may allow extended work windows (8 a.m. to 4 p.m.) for milling and binding to reduce setup time and accelerate completion before winter.
An engineer reported that work crews are applying a double base coat (base and binder) on Springfield Road and moving quickly in sections that have not encountered bedrock. The engineer said crews are trying to accelerate work toward Oak Avenue.
The engineer said Sycamore Road is beginning to see binder work and inlet installation and that staff hopes to finish before winter. He said PennDOT has discussed allowing extended continuous work windows for milling and binding — for example, closing a road from about 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. for a few days — to avoid repeated setup and barricading time lost to short daily shifts.
The engineer noted JP, a staff member, is on vacation and will return next week; JP and borough engineers have been coordinating the work. No formal schedule or firm completion dates were provided in the transcript.
