Main routes: Route 159 and Route 161
The village runs north to south along the Route 159 corridor, with Belleville to the south and west, Fairview Heights to the north and Shiloh to the east. That puts two kinds of work in one place: home driveways on quiet side streets, and commercial lots on a busy highway. We pave both, on a compacted rock base under hot-mix asphalt.
Route 159 meets Route 161, the North Belt, in Swansea, and the Red Line MetroLink station between them has been open since 2001. Lots near that traffic take constant turning loads, so base thickness and drainage matter more than how the surface looks on day one. Subdivision streets and private drives are part of the work too.

Most drives here are suburban: two cars wide or better, an apron at the street and a turn into the garage. We remove failed asphalt, correct base that has softened, then place hot mix, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for a home drive. If the old surface is structurally sound and just tired, an overlay costs less than a rebuild and holds up well.
Driveway pavingLots along Route 159 and Route 161 handle steady turning traffic, delivery trucks and constant braking at the entrances. We build base rock to match that load, set a layout that keeps cars from cutting corners, and grade so water leaves the pavement. Work can be phased by section so a business keeps its doors open.
Parking lot pavingSubdivision streets, private drives and apartment access roads need a base sized for garbage trucks and delivery vans, not for cars. We rebuild worn streets in asphalt, patch and overlay where the base is still good, and grade so water reaches the inlets instead of ponding along the curb line.
Road constructionGeneral asphalt work in Swansea covers the jobs that do not fit neatly in a box: alley aprons, walkways, basketball pads, repairs where a utility trench was cut, and overlays that bring a tired surface back. Each one gets the same treatment: a clean edge, a sound base and hot mix rolled tight.
Asphalt paving
Swansea sits on largely flat ground, and flat ground drains slowly. Upland St. Clair County is covered in thick windblown loess silt that holds water once it is saturated, and freeze-thaw winters lift pavement built over it. We remove soft material, compact rock in lifts and set positive grade so water always has a way off.
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.
Typical ranges. Your Swansea estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Usually. We split a lot into sections, pave one while traffic uses another, then move over once the first has cooled enough to drive on. It takes a little longer overall, but customers and deliveries keep coming in through the work.
Yes. Swansea borders all three, and we pave across the Metro East and greater St. Louis on both sides of the river. Driveways, business lots, subdivision streets and private roads are all part of it. Estimates are free and you get 25% off.
No. Fresh asphalt in Swansea needs time to cure before it is sealed, typically several months and often up to a year. Sealing too early can trap oils in the pavement. After that, sealing every few years helps it resist water, sun and salt.
No. Paving a Swansea driveway happens on your property; trucks stage at the curb for the day and the street stays open. If an apron tie-in means a short blocked stretch at the street, we tell you which hours that falls in.
We pave all around Swansea, across St. Clair County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
