PROJECT:  Roads in Lake Township and New Buffalo Township listed above are receiving a “scratch and seal” resurfacing treatment in 2024. The three roads listed are anticipated to be paved this month. Later in the 2024 construction season, Road Department staff will sealcoat over the new asphalt layer or “scratch course” layer of hot mix asphalt.

Roadway pavement preparation in the form of milling pavement joints (at above listed road locations) will begin the week of April 22nd. Once road pavement has been milled, the contractor will work to schedule paving operations. Milling and paving operations are contractor and weather permitting and schedule may change without notice.

  • Expect possible travel delays. Anticipate lane closures and traffic controlled by flaggers.
