Street Resurfacing Planned For 5.5 Miles Within City

Street resurfacing will begin shortly on 5.5 miles of Park Ridge streets after the City Council approved a contract with J.A. Johnson Paving of Arlington Heights at its meeting on Monday, Apr. 7.

The company was the low bidder for the job at a price of $1,108,052.16. Only one other company submitted a bid for the task.

The project will start with concrete work, followed by grinding off the existing surface, and then the installation of two separate layers of new asphalt. The streets will be posted no parking during work hours; however, overnight and weekend street parking will be permitted.
