City Public Works Unveils 2016 Street Paving Plans
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- The Pittsburgh Public Works Department has unveiled its street paving project list for 2016.
This year, crews will pave just short of 50 miles of roadway across the city.
Starting next month, workers will be out assessing city-owned street to see what kind of shape their in.
And officials say the plans will undergo minor revisions as needs change throughout the summer and fall.
According to the Public Works Department, the program has several components:
- Milling and paving of primary, secondary, and tertiary streets throughout the city
- Maintenance activities, such as pothole patching and crack sealing to extend the life of city streets
- Construction of handicap ramps in conjunction with paving projects
- Concrete and brick repairs
- Thermoplastic line striping of crosswalks in high-traffic pedestrian areas
