Dunbar Township Super-visor Ron Keller said Thursday night that work will begin on patching the road between Route 201 and the village of Adelaide next week.
Keller said traffic will be restricted on Adelaide Road while crews patch the surface.
“Bear with us,” he said. “We'll be working on the road all next week.”
In August, a number of residents from Adelaide approached supervisors about the poor condition of the road.
However, it is unclear when the road will be resurfaced. Keller had said much work needs to be done on the drainage before the surface can be widened and paved.
Work on other paving projects in the township is being completed, according to Ken Martray of Widmer Engineering. Wood, 14th, 16th and 17th streets and Pine Boulevard will soon be done.
Martray said he hopes the Phase II project can begin, which includes paving the road to the new industrial park. Supervisor John Tabaj said only the gas and water lines need to be installed so that work in the park for new businesses can begin.
Tabaj said he is pleased with the work being done by the new township code officer, Dave Stutler.
Bob Pilato of Ridge Boulevard, who approached supervisors in August about a storm water runoff problem on his property, was told Thursday night that supervisors had contacted county and state officials.
Tabaj said they now know they can work on solving the problem.
Tabaj added that Stutler is working on it.
In other action, supervisors:
• Announced fall cleanup days, for only Advanced Disposal customers, will take place Oct. 15.
• Passed a motion limiting burning days to Wednesdays and Saturdays because of the dry weather.
• Passed a motion to accept the 2016 pension contribution. The total for supervisors and union workers will be $55,593. Keith Fordyce said the township had received a reimbursement of more than $34,854 last year. That means the township's share should be about $21,000.
• Heard from Bob Sofcheck, manager of the North Fayette County Municipal Authority, thanking supervisors for their support while the authority studies the need for a new or rehabilitated water treatment plant.
