Description
How much longer must we endure this horrible paving patch job? The street was torn up before Thanksgiving and has yet to be repaved. Every heavy rain storm loosens up the pavement. Just imagine what the snow and plows will bring? It's illogical to wait until spring. I expect we'll be re-routed again, as we were during the long weeks of construction before? This has been a nightmare for all of Hough's Neck!

Paige,
Thank you for using the SeeClickFix system.
As you indicate, this area is in the midst of a full-scale repair. The process for repaving a street is two-fold. First, the City performs the requisite utility work underground, usually in the late fall. The second and final part of the process is a complete repaving of the street, which takes place in the following spring.
The City is aware that the first phase of this project was completed less than perfectly. We will be making spot repairs as necessary throughout the winter, but the final construction will not begin until the spring.

City of Quincy, I realize the freezing temps prohibit repair currently. I would only hope that as soon as temps rise above freezing in the Spring (of 2012), that the City is out here fixing our main route for our neighborhood. I'm looking forward to a pristine pave job for the entire route, but at this point I'll settle for an average road found in Fallujah. It would be an improvement!

DPW crews are out there as I type repairing potholes along the water main.
The final reconstruction of Sea Street is going to be the very first large-scale project done by the DPW this spring. We will be going out to bid for the project shortly, and we will get going on the project as soon as possible. Stay tuned to www.quincyma.gov and our CityofQuincy twitter feed for the latest updates, and know that we're going to get this project done as soon as we possibly can. In the meantime, the DPW and QPD recommend that residents drive along this area at no greater than 25MPH. Doing so helps protect your vehicle and reduce reverberations experienced by neighbors in the area.

Hi folks,
Sorry for the delay. The bid for the contract is going to open in early April (it's available for construction companies to download starting tomorrow). We are going to push to get the construction going as fast as we possibly can, and the target for the start of construction is early May.

We're going to be starting repaving tomorrow. The work should be done by April 24th. Traffic won't be diverted - we'll have one lane open at all times, with a police detail on both ends directing traffic appropriately.
