Subject: Folly Quarter Road Repaving UPDATE

I received a response from Howard County Dept of Public Works this morning regarding the repaving project and want to post it here in a separate thread (and also on the IronGirl race thread) so that everyone sees it:

"Good morning,

I have checked with the supervisor that is in charge of the repaving on Folly Quarter Road. Mr. Kelly said that the work will be finished Wednesday evening August 13 or Thursday Morning August 14 at the latest. Good luck with the Triathlon have fun and be careful. If I can be of further assistance I can be reached by return e-mail or phone at xxx-xxx-xxxx. Have a great day."

Having the only reply to my own thread is so lame, but here goes.

I drove Folly Quarter Road last night and the re-paving is done.  It's actually quite smooth.  For a re-paving job, it didn't feel too bumpy in the car and the road is clean - I didn't hear any gravel hitting the bottom of the car.   In addition to paving over some cracked and sinking parts of the road, they also paved over some previous patchwork that was pretty bumpy, so they actually made improvements.  The ones that I think make the biggest impact are the patches that were previously on the southeast-bound (heading back to the park) side of Folly Quarter going downhill from the Jumpers Hill Road intersection, and a patched section on the northwest-bound side right before Buckskin Lake.  The timing wasn't great, but kudos to Howard County for some decent road work.
