Main routes: Route 111 and Route 267
The village line runs through two counties here, most of it in Macoupin and part in Jersey, so a driveway on one street and a parking lot two blocks away can answer to different offices. We handle the pavement either way. Home drives, business lots, church parking and private lanes make up most of the work.
Routes 111 and 267 run together along the west side, nine miles north to Medora and six south to Godfrey. A post office opened in 1837 and the village incorporated in 1869, so plenty of properties here are older than their pavement. Base, drainage, then hot-mix asphalt rolled tight: that order never changes. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate, and you get 25% off.
Older village lots and newer homes on the edges bring different versions of the same problem, which is what sits under the asphalt. We dig out soft material, compact rock in layers and place hot-mix, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for cars and pickups. Longer country drives get a crown and a culvert at the road so runoff leaves before it soaks into the base.
Driveway pavingBusinesses near the Route 111 and 267 corridor, church lots and shop yards around the village all need an entrance built for turning trucks and a grade that clears water. We size the base for the heaviest load, pave in lifts and roll it tight. A worn lot with a solid base may be a candidate for an overlay.
Parking lot pavingPrivate roads, shared drives and farm lanes fail first in the wheel paths. We rebuild the base, crown the surface and pave to match the traffic, asphalt where trucks run regularly and chip seal on longer light-duty lanes. Where a lane meets Route 111 or 267, the apron gets extra rock and thicker asphalt.
Road constructionGeneral paving in Brighton can be as simple as a new apron where the drive meets the street or as big as an overlay across a business lot. Either way the estimate spells out the base work, the asphalt thickness and what the finished surface should look like.
Asphalt paving
Water is the deciding factor. Clay-heavy soils common through this part of the region hold it, freeze-thaw winters expand it, and pavement over a wet base lifts and cracks. We set the grade so runoff leaves the surface fast, cut out soft subgrade, and compact clean rock in layers so the base stays dry through winter.
Before you sign anything, get the base depth and the compacted asphalt thickness on paper. Two bids that look far apart are often just two different pavements.

It depends on the street. Most of the village sits in Macoupin County with part in Jersey County, so permits and road approvals can land in different places. Carlinville is the Macoupin seat and Jerseyville the Jersey seat. We confirm which applies before work starts.
Late spring through early fall is ideal, when air and ground are warm enough for hot-mix to compact properly. Work happens outside that window too, but cold weather shortens the time a crew has to place and roll asphalt. We schedule around the forecast.
Most Brighton driveways are paved in one to two days once the base is ready, with more time if the old surface has to come out or the base needs rebuilding. You can usually walk on it the same day and drive on it after a few days, depending on the weather.
Most Brighton estimates happen within a few days of your call, and jobs are usually scheduled a couple of weeks out depending on weather and the season. Booking early in the year gets the better dates.
We pave all around Brighton, across Macoupin County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
