Spring is in the Air with a Dash of Asphalt

It is time for the City of Tucker’s spring re-surfacing. Every year, Tucker repaves the roads based on a scoring system of need. The City of Tucker contracted with Roadway Asset
Services to conduct a pavement management study to prioritize which roads should be
treated this year. Roadway Asset Services uses state-of-the-art technology to scan the roads for conditions below the surface, detect cracks, potholes and other potentially hazardous road conditions.

Re-surfacing will start in June and is a multi-step process that starts with milling, which removes the top two to three inches of road, followed by an overlay of asphalt to create a smooth surface. Heavy equipment is used so please exercise caution while driving near the projects. Projects are selected in clusters so there is less movement of the heavy machinery and a smaller chance of damaging recently re-surfaced roads.

With the help of Road Asset Services’ data, Tucker’s engineering team identified 29 sections of road that were in urgent need of repair, including:
Lee Way, Settlement Road, Johns Road, Strapp Drive, Woodlawn Circle, Lavista Woods
Drive, Crestcliff Court, Milestone Run, Camelot Court, Lilburn Stone Mountain Road, Spring Glenn Drive, Silver Hill Trail, Ashbrooke Trace, East Gate Trail, East Gate Court, Kanawha Drive, Chedworth Drive, Chedworth Cove, Britt Road, Lake Ivanhoe Drive, Debracy Pace, Locksley Court, Locksley Road, Middleham Court, Lady Rowena Court, Templar Knight Drive, Rotherwood Drive and Webb Road.
