Suburban Driveways Near the Thruway

Asphalt paving in Bethlehem Township is mostly suburban work. The township lies east of the City of Bethlehem, with 25,861 residents at the 2020 census, up from 21,171 in 2000, on 14.6 square miles. Villages and neighborhoods include Brodhead, Butztown, Farmersville, Middletown, Prospect Park and Wagnerville, and much of the housing is postwar and later subdivision development.

Subdivision driveways

Driveways in the township's subdivisions range from 1960s originals on their second or third surface to newer ones reaching their first round of serious maintenance. The usual signs of trouble are edge cracking, a dip near the garage, cracks along the middle where two paving passes met, and a gray, oxidized surface. Solid ones can be sealed or overlaid; failing ones need a new base.

Creeks

Monocacy Creek and Nancy Run feed the Lehigh, which also marks the line with Lower Saucon. Lots near those creeks and their tributaries can sit low and stay wet. We pay attention to base depth and drainage on those properties.

Roads

Bethlehem Township had 140.29 miles of public roads in 2021: 113.09 maintained by the township and 27.20 by PennDOT. US 22 crosses the north of the township along the Lehigh Valley Thruway, and PA 33 runs north-south in the east. Driveways on state routes need a PennDOT Highway Occupancy Permit for new or changed connections. On township streets, we check the township's requirements before work at the curb.

Commercial lots

Office parks, shopping centers, schools and churches near US 22 and PA 33 have lots that see a lot of traffic. We mill and overlay drive lanes, rebuild failed areas around inlets and restripe with the accessible spaces the 2010 ADA Standards call for. Work can be phased to keep the property open.

Climate

Farmersville averages 28.8 degrees in January and 73.8 in July. A paving season from late spring into fall and a long freeze-thaw winter make fall crack filling and periodic sealing the most cost-effective upkeep.

Subdivision driveway tips

Keep downspouts from emptying onto the driveway, seal three to six months after paving and then every few years, and fill cracks every fall. Avoid parking heavy trailers or dumpsters on the edges, which have the least support.

Bethlehem Township Questions

Is Bethlehem Township the same as the City of Bethlehem?

No. The township is a separate municipality east of the city with its own roads and rules. We check the right one for your address.

Our HOA wants a specific sealcoat. Can you match it?

Tell us the requirement and we will price to it and provide a written scope for the association.

Can you repave our office lot over a weekend?

Often, yes, depending on size. Larger lots are phased so part stays open.

How long does a sealcoat take to dry?

Usually 12 to 72 hours before driving, depending on temperature and shade.

Can a roll-off dumpster damage my driveway?

Yes, especially near the edges. Put boards under the rails and keep it off the edges where possible.

My driveway sits in a low spot near Nancy Run. What helps?

A deeper stone base, careful grading and making sure water has a path off the property. We look at where it comes from first.

Do you work in Brodhead and Farmersville?

Yes, throughout Bethlehem Township and the City of Bethlehem.
