The annual road improvement program starts May 14, 2025, in South Fayette Township. Please use caution and expect delays in work areas.

The road paving and rejuvenation program involves 10 streets. Work is expected to be complete by early July.

Shields Asphalt Paving of Richland will conduct milling and asphalt paving on about 2.4 miles of Hickory Grade Road, Millers Run Road Ext, Mohawk Road and Sygan Road.

In June, single-lane, alternating traffic will occur on Hickory Grade Road, near The Watson Institute, for about two weeks while Columbia Gas of Pennsylvania completes work. Once finished, that section of road will be paved.

The $1 million program also includes a third-mile of guardrail replacement along Mohawk Road.

In addition, Pavement Technology, Inc., of Westlake, Ohio, will complete a $50,000 asphalt rejuvenation project on 2.2 miles of roadway in the neighborhoods of Wood Creek, Hickory Heights and The Fairways at Hickory Heights.

Rejuvenation is a cost-effective way to extend the life of newer pavement. The roads on the rejuvenation list were paved in 2023.

Prior to road work, contractors will notify residents and post no-parking signs.

The multistep paving process takes about two to four weeks on each street, depending on weather and the road surface. The first step is to mill, or grind off, about 3½ inches of the top pavement. About a week later, a 2-inch asphalt binder course is applied. Finally, the roadway is topped with a 1½-inch layer of asphalt wearing course.

Township Public Works is completing road repairs and storm inlet work to prepare for the paving contractor.

Any of the listed streets that cannot be completed this year, due to weather or other factors, will move to the 2026 program.
