Murrysville public works crews are finishing up preparation work as the municipality’s summer paving program gets underway.
“We’ve been working on that for about three or four months,” Murrysville Public Works Director Bill Paiano said.
In addition to preparation, public works staff has been working to address potholes as winter has warmed up into spring.
“We stay on them constantly,” Paiano said. “Throughout the winter we have someone going out daily to keep after those.”
The $1.5 million summer paving program, part of Murrysville’s overall capital improvements plan, will center around work on Sardis Road, according to Paiano.
“That’s the major one, with paving happening between Mamont and Old William Penn roads,” he said. Just under 3.2 miles of Sardis Road will be paved. Sardis was last included in the paving program in 2018.
Other major paving projects under consideration include:
• 5,500 feet of Twin Oaks Drive.
• 4,825 feet of Sinan Farm Drive.
• 2,212 feet of MacIntyre Drive, which is both the oldest road on the list and has gone the longest — 33 years — without being repaved.
• Just under 2,000 feet of Manor Vue Court.
Smaller sections of Justin, Stephanie, Verner, Marisa, Springview, Ann Marie and Patino courts, as well as Faulk Drive and Lillian Avenue.
Murrysville engineers and Paiano surveyed the roads during the spring warm-up to determine which were most in need of repair.
