PSE&G milling and paving schedule for May and June 2023

May 25, 2023 – The City of Summit Department of Community Services is sharing the schedule for milling and paving operations to be performed by PSE&G in Summit in May and June.

Work will be performed between the hours of 7AM and 5PM unless otherwise noted in the schedule below. Affected roads will be closed to traffic when crews are performing milling and paving operations on each road. Roads will remain closed for a few hours after paving is complete to allow the pavement to cure.

Detours will be in place and emergency vehicles will have access at all times. Summit Police officers will be onsite to direct traffic and assist with local access on affected streets. Written notifications will be delivered by the contractor to all affected property owners.

During project work, residents should park on neighboring side streets. If it is necessary to leave cars on the street overnight, please submit a request to the Summit Police Department online to avoid being ticketed.
