The Township Road Department has contracted with Asphalt Maintenance Solutions to apply a seal coat of oil and stone chips on Carriage Drive on Monday/Tuesday May 2/3, 2022. This will coincide with work being done by Coopersburg Borough on their portion of Carriage Drive. 

Mutual cooperation is very important to the quality of the finished product, and will minimize the inconvenience to everyone. You can help to ensure the successful completion of the project by following the directions listed below:

• Place all trash cans behind the curb line.
• Refrain from blowing cut grass onto the roadway.
• Do not park vehicle(s) on the street while work is being done.
• Drive slowly on these roads for the first 48 hours after the seal coat is applied.

Thank you for your cooperation, and we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

A contractor for the developer will begin roadway milling and overlay for the Estates at Saucon Valley waterline extension on or about Monday April 18, 2022. Work will start on Flint Hill Road, just beyond Passer Road and work toward the Estates.
