Dragon Repaving Update

Spread the word, and keep in mind that this will be Mon-Thurs during daytime only.

We just got word from TDOT Today:

“We held a preconstruction conference with the contractor today on the referenced [Hwy 129 Repave] project. They provided us with an estimated start date of the 1st week of May. They did mention this date is their goal but it could push out by a week or so. Right now their plan is to pave and perform necessary lane closure activities during daylight hours Mondays through Thursdays beginning in the southbound direction towards the North Carolina state line. Our contract stipulates that once the work affecting traffic begins, it must be completed within 35 calendar days. So ideally the paving will be complete sometime in mid to late June.

If you could please spread the word on your end for drivers during this time period to expect single lane closures that would be great. There will be advanced warning messages as well as officers with flashing lights to assist with the traffic control operations.”
