Dunmore, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) Pike County Maintenance Force announces that it has paused its Cold In-Place Recycling project along Route 2002 (Wilson Hill Road) in Delaware Township. The road has been temporarily reopened to traffic. Work will resume on Monday, July 21, 2025, at which time a detour around the project area will be reinstated.
Cold in-place recycling is a process where the existing asphalt pavement is cold milled to produce reclaimed asphalt pavement, processed into a recycled mixture, placed, and compacted onto the roadway, which corrects irregularities in the pavement surface, removes existing cracks, potholes, and raveling.
Other advantages to this type of roadway treatment include conserving nonrenewable resources and energy and cost savings compared to other treatments.
