Village officials examined the new $37,000 Volvo double drum asphalt roller recently purchased by the Village of Bridgeview. 

Weighing in at about 3,400 lbs., this roller will be used for road repairs as needed. For example, when a road is torn up in order to repair the water mains beneath the road, the asphalt roller will be readily available to repair the road. The purchasing of this asphalt roller will give the Public Works Department a quick and cost-effective method of fixing the roads without having to contract a private company through a costly, time-consuming bidding process. 

This roller is just one more investment in improving and maintaining the infrastructure of the Village of Bridgeview. Potholes, beware–Bridgeview is coming for you.
