Paving Preservation Project – West Lynn Garden

A select number of streets in west Lynn Garden will receive a paving preservation treatment. This project, being performed by Holbrook Asphalt Co., will begin on July 27 and will be completed by August 31.

Kingsport is the first city in upper East Tennessee to use this paving treatment, with other cities such as Nashville, Franklin and Montgomery County using the treatment.

The paving preservation process involves spraying a liquid surface treatment to help extend the life of asphalt streets. The benefits of properly maintained streets include higher property values, smoother and safer ride and a reduced cost to the taxpayer by prolonging the need for repaving.

An asphalt roadway faces many challenges during its life cycle. Oxidative damage from moisture and UV rays are two of the biggest issues pavements in community’s experience. Limiting this damage is an effective pavement management strategy to preserve our infrastructure.  

The streets will be treated in a phased approach, with only one or two streets being treated at a time. While the streets are being treated, residents will not be able to use the streets. Local community locations have volunteered to be a shuttle coordination point. Holbrook Asphalt Co. will be responsible for shuttling residents to and from their vehicles.

Residents impacted by this project will have information hand delivered to them by Holbrook Asphalt Co and they will be available for questions as well.

Drivers are asked to use caution in the area and are encouraged to use alternate routes as much as possible during this time. If you have any questions, please contact Public Works at 423-229-9451.

Thank you for your cooperation during this improvement project.
