Tar and Chip Application on Township Roads
Dallas Township recently awarded a bid to Asphalt Maintenance Solutions (AMS) to tar & chip some roads in Dallas Township. Those roads are Goldsmith Road, Goodleigh Road, Glendalough Road & Raintree Drive. Work will continue Monday, July 15th and work should be completed by Friday, July 19th weather permitting.
The roads do not need to be closed when the work is being done, as one lane will be open during the tar & chip process. The portion that is tar & chipped will be drivable immediately after it is rolled.
Please be aware that there may be some inconvenience during the process. If you have any questions, contact the Township Roadmaster, at 570-674-2006.
