A paving construction project on Dorothy Lane, stretching from Dixie Highway at the Moraine border almost to Wilmington Pike, will start the week of June 3, Kettering is warning motorists.

Crews plan to start setting up traffic control cones and barrels on the well-traveled road Tuesday, a Kettering spokeswoman said. Work will continue until late August or early September, but weather and other factors may slow progress.

Construction is slated to begin at the west end near Dixie Highway, gradually progressing eastward toward Haig Avenue, just shy of Wilmington.

The mill and overlay project’s cost has been budgeted at $3.5 million, with $1.8 million coming from the Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission.

Dorothy Lane was last paved in 2011.

The city said contractors from the John R Jurgenson Co. will be milling off the existing pavement and applying a 2.5-inch asphalt layer over about 3.14 miles of roadway.

Traffic will be reduced to one lane in each direction. Delays are expected.

“We recommend planning extra time for your commute and considering alternate routes when possible,” the city of Kettering said in a social media post. “Thank you for your patience as we work to improve our roadways for the community.”

The Kettering City Council approved multiple resolutions in January to improve infrastructure citywide.
