2025 Paving Schedule

The Town of Rocky Hill will be performing multiple pavement treatments on 18 roads this summer/fall.  

Micro-surfacing (a form of pavement preservation) is expected to begin August 18, 2025, and last approximately 3 days, weather depending. INDUS, of Braintree, MA will be our contractor for this project. Visit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vymdas2oYt0 to watch a video of the process.  Line striping will be repainted after completion. The work will occur on the following streets:  

Gilbert AvenueOld Forge Road

Milling and Paving (pavement resurfacing) will begin September 17, 2025, and last approximately 6 weeks, weather depending.  Repairs to sidewalk ramps and catch basins are already underway.  This year’s contractors are TILCON, of New Britain, CT (Milling) and Galasso Materials, of East Granby, CT (Paving). Line striping will be repainted after completion.  The work will occur on the following streets:

Crystal DriveJune CircleHayes Road (Westmeadow Rd to Town line)
Fog seal will begin September 15, 2025. Fog Seal is a product sprayed on to asphalt pavement to slow the aging of an existing asphalt surface.  This liquid asphalt product improves the surface appearance by sealing minor cracks and protects the pavement from oxidation by the sun. Fog Seal can extend the life of roads by an additional 2 to 4 years and is applied like a driveway sealer.  This fills a treatment gap between doing nothing and using a micro-surfacing treatment to overlay aging pavement.  Fog seal can be reapplied every 2 -4 years.  INDUS will be our contractor for this project. The benefits of fog seal include providing a low-cost way to keep good roads in good condition, protecting pavement from moisture and oxidation, addressing minor surface cracks and raveling, increasing road safety by improving contrast between pavement and road markings, and adding flexibility.  Fog seal cures in roughly one hour, but weather conditions can affect drying time.  Line striping may be repainted after completion. Visit https://indusinc.com/roads/fog-seal/ to see a short video by our contractor about how fog seal is applied and why it is useful.  The work will occur on the following streets:

PLEASE NOTE THAT FLAGGERS WILL CONTROL TRAFFIC DURING THE PAVING

PROCESS WHICH MAY CAUSE DELAYS.

 

Please be aware of the following:  The Town of Rocky Hill prohibits irrigation, invisible dog fence, etc. within the Town street right of way or easement as these areas are reserved for sidewalks, signs, and utilities. Although prohibited, the Town is aware that there are existing irrigation systems within the right of way.  It is the homeowner’s responsibility to mark out the locations prior to the start of construction.  Every effort will be made to avoid them but if they are damaged, it is the homeowner’s responsibility for the repairs.

•    Normal hours of work are Monday through Friday 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., but on occasion may be adjusted.

•    Please refrain from parking vehicles on the road during the restoration work, and please ask that your contractor(s) do not park in the streets during this process.  

•    Limited access will be allowed during roadwork operations.  One lane shall be open to traffic at all times to allow for local vehicular traffic (school buses, trash collection, emergency vehicles, and residents) to pass, but there may be short periods where your driveway will be blocked during paving.  Please follow the instructions of the certified flaggers who will be directing traffic.

•    The timeframe between milling and repaving a road can be several weeks. During this period there will be utility structures (catch basins, manholes, water and gas valves) raised above the milled surface.  They will be marked, but care should be taken when driving on these roads.

•    Should you have any questions or concerns you may contact Jason Scott, Civil Engineer, at (860) 258-7674 (office) or (860) 986-7561 (cell), or the Engineering Department office at (860) 258-2766.

 There will be some inconveniences during construction, and we thank you for your patience and cooperation during this process.  Caution should be exercised during this time to drive slowly and carefully and please observe all traffic signs and flaggers.  

THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE AND COOPERATION
