Street Resurfacing Notice for the Residential Streets of Urbanna
VDOT’s plan to resurface residential/subdivision level streets within town limits had previously been made public with VDOT officials informing town council. Since that time town staff was advised the project was slated to begin in July.
We have now learned the project will begin within town limits tomorrow, June 14th.
The project will take place in two phases. In the first phase, the contractor, Whitehurst Paving, will put down a chip seal. This should take about five days. In the second phase, another contractor will put down a slurry seal. While we do not have a date for the second phase to begin, we would expect it to start in 2-3 weeks.
Based on the information provided by the contractor, this is the phase one schedule as we know it. As the contractor notifies the town office of their schedule for which streets they will be working on, we will pass that information on to you.
Friday, June 14th
- Watling St. (from Cross St. to private drive)
- Watling St. (from Urbanna Rd. to end at URBBY)
- Virginia St. (from Cross St. to Oyster Rd)
- Oyster Rd. (in front of condos)
Monday, June 17
- Prince George St.
- Grace Ave.
- Hillard St.
- Park St.
- Bonner St.
- Linden Ave.
Please keep in mind this may change due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances.
“No Parking” signs are supposed to be placed in advance by the contractor, but please be mindful to not park on these streets on those days.
Thank you.
