Road Resurfacing

Commencing on Monday,  April 8th at 8:00am, the Town of Hopkinton will begin several Road Resurfacing projects to repair and extend the life of our Town's infrastructure.  The Town has contracted All States Materials Group to complete the project, together, with their advisement, the Town will be applying an Asphalt-Rubber SAM (Stress Absorbing Membrane). This type of treatment creates a highly durable wearing surface for demanding pavements. The innovative surface treatment is more durable than conventional hot mix overlays and is a long lasting preventive maintenance which preserves the value of structurally sound pavements.

• These projects have been planned to have as little impact on our Town Residents of, Chase Hill, Diamond Hill, Maxon Hill, Fairview Avenue, and Skunk Hill Road.  
• All work will be performed between the Hours of 8:00am and 5:00pm. 
• There are no planned road closures, and the Town will be providing Public Works employees for all flagging needs to reduce and to minimize traffic disturbances.

Please keep in mind that the road resurfacing project will take place in two steps.  

Step 1: Roads will be prepped by shimming: The roads were prepped by shimming to re-establish a uniform cross slope and to smooth out any distortion in the existing pavement surface for better final rubber chip seal application.  

Step 1 is now complete.

Step 2: Resurfacing with Rubber Chip Seal: The crumb rubber modified asphalt is composed of performance graded asphalt blended with ground rubber from recycled tires. The durability outperforms conventional hot mix overlays and nearly doubles the life of chip seals. 

Work is estimated to commence on June 3rd (weather dependent).

Thank you in advance for your assistance and understanding during these five important projects.
