There are eight streets on the list for pavement replacement in Rio Verde this summer, with the work to begin this week and the project taking about one month.

The streets getting the asphalt upgrade include Condor Court, Cordova Lane and Place, Horseshoe Bend, Gemmil Drive, Herron Lane, Indian Knoll Drive, Waxwing and Sevilla Lane.

The first couple of days of work this week will be devoted to preparing landscape and utilities.

The removal of the asphalt, grading and compaction will take place over the next few weeks between May 6 and May 23. The streets will remain open during this process, but there may be delays in getting a vehicle in or out. The work will begin daily at about 6 a.m.

The paving on Gemmil Drive, Heron Lane, Indian Knoll and Waxwing will begin on May 22. Horseshoe Bend is scheduled for May 23 with Codor Court, Cordova Lane and Sevilla Lane to be done on May 27.

The roads will be closed from 6 a.m. until 6 a.m. the following day for the paving.

May 27 and May 28 will be used to restore landscaping and raise utilities.

There will be no trash pick-up on the streets getting the new asphalt on May 21 and May 28.

Crack sealing will take place on White Wing Drive May 8 and May 9. Vado Court will be closed for about 10 days for concrete removal and replacement beginning May 6. Curbs on Bolero Bend and Forest Road will be replaced between May 6 and May 9.

June 1 is a make-up day to catch up on any work not completed by that time.
