PROJECT UPDATES
DATE: April 23rd, 2026
SCHEDULE UPDATE: MILLING
SCHEDULE UPDATE: Due to scheduling adjustments, Emery Sapp & Sons will begin preliminary roadway milling operations along Route 2 on Tuesday, April 28, 2026.
Milling activities will include curb milling along S. Independence Street to the intersections of W. South Street and Route 2. Crews will also perform depth transition cuts at all side streets, entrances, and concrete/asphalt driveways. These transitions are necessary to provide a smooth and consistent connection between existing pavement and the new roadway surface.
Motorists are advised to use caution, remain alert for workers, and follow all posted flagger instructions while traveling through the work zone.
Work is anticipated to take approximately 2–3 days and will begin after 8:00 a.m. each day to minimize impacts to morning traffic.
The paving schedule remains on track to begin May 4, weather permitting.
Emery Sapp & Sons appreciates the public’s cooperation and is committed to maintaining a safe and efficient work zone for all.
