Part of Meeks Drive is blocked off for road construction. Orange Public Works Director Jim Wolf said a contractor is repaving an area from about 200 feet north of International Drive up to Allie Payne Road.
Wolf said the city hired a contractor for the work. The repaving of the section should take about a week, depending on whether.
The project begins pulling up the existing surface. The surface is grinded and mixed, then put back on the roadway. Then it is packed down for a new base. Wolf said a two-inch layer of new asphalt will then go on top of the base.
After the contractor finishes Meeks, the crew will go to Second Street to repave a 2,000 foot long section from John Avenue south to Pine Avenue.
