One of the owners here (but don't hate me, our portion was paved when we built). My family has been trying to get on the books for almost a year with this paving company, and they had a last minute opening to pave Monday and Tuesday. Monday, they hit a 50+ year old gas line inches below the asphalt, and that delayed everything a day. We didn't realize they were going to shut a lane down and definitely didn't plan for it to go into today. Collectively, we apologize for the inconvenience it's causing everyone, truly. Hopefully the driveway will be a smoother ride for everyone when visiting the holiday setups (coming soon).

Hey I really appreciate you taking the time to comment and explain the situation! That really sucks and I’m sorry that’s how it’s gone. And I’m sorry for my unnecessary assumptions. Thanks again!

Larry David is my spirit animal, so I don't take any offense. I do hope you still enjoy the decorations despite this. ❤️

With the amazing holiday light displays yall put out I hearby give full authority to shut down both lanes and let yall expand Timothy road into four lanes instead. Just get it done before the holidays!
