PORTAGE, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – The City of Portage Mill and Fill Program is scheduled to continue Monday, August 28 in the southeast portion of the city.
The program involves major maintenance on selected streets that city officials say will enhance the structural integrity and ride quality, as well as
prolong the life of the street. This includes the removal of badly worn areas of the road and overlaying the surface with two inches of new asphalt.
The following locations are scheduled for this project: Roger Street, East Osterhout to Ludington Avenue; Wendover Court, Roger Street to the cul-de-sac; and
Breckenridge Way, Roger Street to the cul-de-sac.
Milling will begin Monday, with paving planned for Wednesday, August 28.
During paving operations, one lane of travel will remain open at all times.
A “tac coat” (oily substance) is sprayed on the street prior to paving in order to bond the new asphalt to the old surface. Driving on the tac coat should be avoided as this material may attach to tires and vehicle undercarriages and may be carried onto driveways or garage floors.
