Licking Park District 2021 Paving and Asphalt Sealing Projects

GRANVILLE, OHIO GRANVILLE, OHIO (July 15, 2021) The Licking Park District continues to collaborate with our municipal partners in Newark. We recently completed four bike trail paving projects and an asphalt sealing project.

Two sections of the TJ Evans bike trails in Newark were paved in June. The entire trail from W Main St in Newark to SR 16 (9,768 LnFt) in the Newark corp limit was paved, as well as a section from the historic iron bridge behind the Cherry Valley Hotel to the Gib and Lou Reese bridge over SR 16 (11,669 LnFt). In addition, the Licking Park District paved the TJE trail to the Granville corp limit near Maple Grove Cemetery and a section from Raccoon Valley Rd to Mounts Rd. In total, 5.5 miles of trails were paved in 2021. This compliments 4.5 miles paved in 2020.

In order to extend the life of asphalt on the Panhandle Trail, the entire length from Newark east to Felumlee Rd (7.75 miles) was crack filled and sealed in June. It is anticipated that this project will extend the life of the pavement until 2027 or beyond.

These projects are made possible by the tax levy dollars provided by Licking County residents. We appreciate your support! The Licking Park District continuously monitors and makes improvements to your park system.
