Bays Mountain Road Paving & Park Closure

,

Repaving of Bays Mountain Park’s main entry road will begin tomorrow, Thursday, August 15. As part of this project, the park will be closed to the public Monday through Wednesday of next week, August 19-21.

Here’s a detailed timeline:

Thursday & Friday – Pave-Well Paving Co. work crews will begin milling the road and installing the leveling course in preparation for the actual paving.  The park will be open to the public per normal operations as traffic control will be present directing traffic during this time to conduct proper passage for visitors and to ensure the safety of the workers.

Monday thru Wednesday (August 19-21) of next week – Paving of the entry road will be underway daily from roughly 6:30 a.m. until sundown. The Park will be closed to the public during this time due to the nature of the work being performed.  Although the park will be closed to the public, park staff will be present, including at the gatehouse.

Thursday and Friday (August 22 & 23) of next week – The Park will reopen to the public on a normal operating schedule as crews complete paving. If paving is completed on time and without weather delay, restriping of the entry road may take place during this time and possibly into the following week.

As always, Bays Mountain Park would like to thank our park guests for their amazing support and patience with us as we make these much needed improvements to the park.
