The access roads within Gateway Greens have had quite the journey – most have been around for 20 years, and some are even older! Asphalt roads typically last 15 to 30 years, but that depends on the weather and how much traffic they handle. In Gateway, garbage trucks are the heaviest vehicles, and they’re on the roads every week. Add in summer heavy rains, heat and humidity, and the combination takes its toll.
Gateway Greens engaged an engineering firm to conduct an inspection of our roadways to assist in identifying roads that require rehabilitation and determining the appropriate time frames for completion. You may have observed the rehabilitation of certain roads over the past few years. This year, we anticipate the completion of 10 roads which will commence this summer.
Road rehabilitation means that we are getting our roads back in shape and making them even better! At Gateway Greens, we do this by removing the old asphalt, replacing damaged sublayer, and repairing broken sections of the gutters and curbs.
The following roads are scheduled for rehabilitation this year:
• Callaway Greens Drive and Court
• Mahogany Run starting at Walden Lakes entrance to cul-de-sac
• Mahogany Run (north) cul-de-sac and south
• Walden Run
• Venicia Drive
• Lake Run Drive
• Hampton Greens Court and Drive
• Championship Drive (one section)
The HOA board aims to keep our community areas, access control buildings, fences, walls, roads and sidewalks in good shape. If you’re in a neighborhood with a road being rehabilitated, please keep an eye out for construction gear and workers as they work to improve our community. Thanks in advance for your patience in keeping Gateway roads in great working order.
