Quincy Point road repaving project to continue until February of next year?

In wake of Quincy Quarry running not just one but rather two exposés on the so far yet to be completed repaving of a tonier short street in the Presidents Hill neighborhood running well after the usual mid-November cessation of road work given the well-know nproblems with trying to lay asphalt during the cold time of the year, the Quarry was dropped a dime about a running even further late into the winter season repaving of a couple of streets near Mound Beach in far from tony Quincy Point.

Accordingly, Quarry’s City Editor then dispatched personnel to the scene to investigate things.

In turn, if one is to take at face value temporary signage found posted along the streets undergoing repaving, the work could well continue until Ground Hog’s Day.

So what, apparently, for the fact that not only will the ground likely be frozen in coming weeks, so too will be the workers working on this project. 

That and typically also so giving rise to less than aces compacting of the soil in holes dug and material laid upon which asphalt is to be laid and then compacted so as to strive for a smooth as well as long-lived road surface that is free of sinkholes given the proper compaction of below-grade fill.

Plus, one must always keep in mind that the job is not done until the paperwork is “done.”

That and how the solely managed by the City of Quincy projects all but invariably run late and/or over budget.

That and often by a lot.

A wicked whole lot.
