Paving Project Begins Monday In Jenkintown Jenkintown officials said the project is expected to last all of next week. Find out where below.

JENKINTOWN, PA —The 2024 Jenkintown Borough paving project contract has obtained all necessary PennDOT approvals.

The contractor, Glasgow, Inc., will begin work on Monday.

The road being milled and paved under this contract will be Walnut Street from Washington Lane to Greenwood Avenue.

Of this $147,777 project, $100,000 is being funded through the PA State allocated liquid fuel funds, borough officials said.

The road will need to be free of vehicles so the milling and paving operation can take place unimpeded.

All residences with driveways are asked to use your driveway for parking during this project.

The contractor will place No Parking Signs on the affected road. A door hanger notification will be hand delivered to all affected properties. There will be borough-wide email blast updates such as this during the project.

Roadway milling operations are scheduled to take place Monday with the paving of the roadway commencing immediately afterward on Tuesday and Wednesday.

The contractor intends to construct the traffic calming 'speed cushions' and install the thermoplastic crosswalks, stop bars, and associated striping on Thursday and Friday.

During the milling operations, there will be temporary and intermittent traffic delays, the road can be traveled once milled although extra care should be taken due to the uneven surfaces and the possibility of loose material.

On the day(s) that the paving material is being applied the road being paved will be closed to traffic until the paving material can be properly applied and it can cool to a temperature safe for vehicular traffic. Once the temperature is confirmed safe for travel by the Borough Engineer the road will be reopened to traffic.

Anyone with questions or needs for any special accommodations should call Borough Hall at 215-885-0700.
