POTSDAM — The Town of Potsdam’s paving season is set to begin May 24 with the Bagdad Road to receive about 1.3 miles of new road.
Roadwork will begin at 6 a.m. each day and end around 3 p.m., weather permitting, according to John Keleher, town highway superintendent.
Each of the roads being worked on will be closed while work is in progress and detours will be posted.
Following work on Bagdad Road, paving will continue on the South Canton Road where 1.2 miles of new asphalt will be laid.
Keleher said the next road to receive attention will be the Old-Potsdam Parishville Road. Workers will pave about 1.1 miles of road there.
The final road the town plans to work on will be the Heath Road. About one mile of paving is expected.
The town is using the $290,494.76 in New York State Consolidated Local Street and Highway Improvement Program (CHIPS) funding they are receiving this year for road work this year.
The Heath Road work was made possible from extra funding through PAVE NY, which totaled $66,308.08 for the town.
Some skim coating will be done on parts of South Canton Road and Heath Road, which will “be enough to hold until next year,” Keleher said.
Paving projects are expected to wrap up around June 10.
Keleher said the town also expects to do some drainage work and the “usual projects.”
