Do you know our Highway Department is recognized for its quality work and is a revenue source for the Town? This year, through mutual agreements, the Highway Department is working on pavement maintenance projects for the Penfield School District and Monroe Community College.

We provide a high quality job at a competitive price, saving taxpayers on many fronts. The department balances schedules to earn revenue to help offset costs to Penfield residents while making sure our own roadway, drainage, sidewalks and other projects are completed.

The Town of Penfield Highway Dept. is currently wrapping up work on a paving project at Penfield High School. The project is being done using “cold in-place recycling” to minimize use of energy and materials, lower costs and speed results.

This innovative process mills and recycles pavement right on the spot! As old pavement is scraped from the existing surface, it is immediately mixed with new materials, and then reapplied in a single-pass operation.

Cold in-place recycling is beneficial because it improves the paved surface without the energy consumption, expense and time typically required to haul materials to and from a job site. Additionally, the construction period is shortened which further lowers costs and minimizes disruptions.
