Street work underway in Moores Hill
By Chandra L. Mattingly Staff Reporter cmattingly@registerpublications.com
Work on repaving Manchester and Moore streets in Moores Hill was to start Monday, Aug. 4, after the town council and Globe Asphalt Paving Inc. reached an agreement in writing, said Moores Hill Clerk-treasurer Guinevere Emery. Globe Asphalt agreed to reapply the Seal Master Liquid Road product to the two streets pursuant to Seal Master manufacture specifications, including equipment used and temperature, she said. The agreement resulted from a special town council meeting Thursday, July 31, with Globe Asphalt representatives. Maps provided to the town outline five phases for the project. Emery said the work will start at the Moores Hill Elementary School on Main St and head toward the Moores Hill Post Office. The second phase will include Manchester Street between Main Street and Ind. 350; and the third phase will continue along Main Street from the Main and Manchester streets intersection toward Ind. 350. Only portions of each street will be done at a time, with concrete barriers to prevent traffic on the treated sections for a full 24 hours. Globe Asphalt is to provide both barriers and safety signage, said Emery. The areas to receive two applications due to severely worn or bare pavement were to be identified by town officials, with the other areas to receive just one coat, said Emery. Globe Asphalt also is to seal all cracks developed within the length of the project, with council members to FROM GOOGLE MAPS WITH GRAPHIC BY LYDIA MORATH inspect the crack seals for compliance with Repaving in phase one will include Manchester Street from High Street about a block north to the edge of the manufacturer's specifications. In return, Globe Asphalt will be paid the Moores Hill Fire Department property, and Main Street between Chesterville Road and Manchester Street. See STREET, Page 10
