Our paving contractor for 2025, Long's Asphalt, will begin our roadway paving program Thursday, July 31. As a result, Hillendale Road will be closed to through traffic from roughly 6am to 6pm between Newark Road and Chambers Road and Newark Road and Thompson Road, depending on where work is taking place. We know this isn't the best timing with some of Hillendale Road being used for the Thompson Road detour, but I think we can all agree that Hillendale Road is in serious need of some love and the final product will be well worth the temporary inconvenience.
During the road closures, please obey all signs and flaggers' directions. While the roadways will be closed to through traffic, residents will be able to get to and from their houses, but you may have to do that from a different way than normal. Please let flaggers know where you are trying to get to, and they will get you there with as little inconvenience as possible.
