Update: Tuesday, Aug. 2, 12:08 p.m.:

The Darien Department of Public Works has run into a problem with this year’s road paving, so the dates when streets will be paved has changed.

“Due to an equipment malfunction our program start date has been pushed from Aug. 4, 2016 to Aug. 8,” the department announced at about noon on Tuesday.  “All other dates have been shifted accordingly.”

Here’s the revised schedule (Darienite.com has decreased the size of the original schedule, further below, in order to make it harder to mistake it for the updated one):

This is the revised schedule for 2016 street paving in Darien. It starts Aug. 8 rather than the original date of Aug. 4. (Updated at 12:16 p.m. by the DPW)

However, no single driveway should be closed for more than an hour. On street parking will be suspended during paving operations. Minor traffic delays are likely.

Street paving isn’t the only work being done on town roads this summer. Extensive work is also being done on water and gas main lines, and much of the paving is done in conjunction with that.
