How Do We Plan a Street Paving Project in Beacon?

Every project begins with an initial site assessment, careful planning, and coordination to ensure the results meet local needs, budgets, and timelines.

What Happens During the Initial Site Assessment?

We inspect the current pavement condition, drainage layout, soil stability, and traffic flow. Our crew takes precise measurements and evaluates whether the street needs repairs, resurfacing, or full reconstruction. We also assess any potential obstacles, like utility lines or tree roots, and factor them into the plan.

How Is Traffic Management Handled During the Project?

A traffic management plan includes detour routes, signage, cones, flaggers, and scheduling work during off-peak hours when possible. Safety is our top priority for both drivers and our crew. We communicate clearly with residents and local businesses throughout the process.

How Long Will the Street Paving Process Take?

Every project is unique, so there isn’t a universal time frame. Duration is determined by several key factors, most notably the size of the area. Large roadways or highways take longer than smaller residential streets on average. If additional repairs or removals are required, this preparation will add extra time.

Other influential factors depend on the paving method used or the weather conditions during the project. Unfavorable weather can delay critical steps like milling, base repairs, or asphalt laying and curing. Generally, a basic residential street might take a few days, but a commercial project takes weeks or months.

What Causes Asphalt Cracks?

Cracking is one of the most common issues in aging pavement, and it doesn’t happen without a reason.

The most frequent causes include:

• Moisture infiltration: Water that seeps into the base weakens the structural layers and causes cracks to grow.
• Heavy traffic loads: Constant pressure from trucks and buses stresses the pavement, eventually causing fatigue and surface damage.
• Poor subgrade preparation: If the ground beneath wasn’t compacted correctly, the surface above won’t hold up long term.

Can Poor Drainage Cause Premature Road Failure?

Yes, poor drainage is one of the biggest threats to paved surfaces. When water doesn’t drain off the road properly, it pools and penetrates the pavement. This causes the base layers to erode, leading to potholes, rutting, and structural failures.

Drainage issues are especially problematic in freeze-thaw cycles like we see in Beacon, where water expands underground and causes upheaval. Roads that don’t shed water efficiently will wear out much faster than those that do.

Can Street Paving Help With Drainage and Water Runoff?

Definitely, a well-designed paving project includes proper grading to guide water away from the street. Our team also installs culverts, curbs, catch basins, and swales where needed to control water runoff. These features reduce erosion, prevent flooding, and extend the lifespan of the pavement. If your streets are holding water, paving and drainage upgrades can make a huge difference.

How Often Should Streets Be Sealcoated in Beacon?

In most cases, streets should be sealcoated every 3 to 5 years, depending on traffic volume and weather exposure. Sealcoating protects asphalt from oxidation, moisture, and chemical spills. It also restores the surface color and improves traction. We offer maintenance plans to keep Beacon’s roads in top shape year-round.

What’s the Difference Between Overlay and Mill-and-Pave?

Overlaying involves adding a fresh layer of asphalt on top of the existing surface. It’s ideal when the base is still in good shape, but the top layer is worn. Mill-and-pave removes the top layer entirely before adding new asphalt. This method is best when the surface has significant damage or drainage issues.

Both approaches extend road life, but mill-and-pave offers better long-term results if the underlying problems are more serious.

Do Paving Projects Require a Street Paving Permit?

In Beacon, as in most municipalities, you’ll need to obtain the proper permits before undertaking any street paving projects. Permits are required to ensure work is performed safely, meets local regulations, and doesn’t interfere with utilities or infrastructure.

Depending on the scope of your project, you may need one or more of the following permits from the City of Beacon:

• Street Opening Permit
• Excavation Permit
• Right-of-Way Permit
• Temporary Obstruction Permit
• Driveway/Curb Cut Permit
• Stormwater Management Permit
