Streets affected during the week of June 11-15 include
James St. (Alabama St. to Texas St. and Iowa St. to Kentucky St.), Lincoln Ave.
(Meador Ave. to Gladstone St.), Nequalicum Ave. (Eldridge Ave. to Lindberg
St.), and Yew St. (Lakeway Dr. to Princeton Ct.).
The work crew and equipment will continually move from
location to location. Motorists traveling through the work zones should
use caution and expect minor delays. Flaggers on-site will direct drivers
around intermittent lane closures. "No Parking" signs will be
posted where parking is restricted. This work is anticipated to
continue in various locations throughout the City for the next six weeks, but may
be extended depending on weather. Updates and road restrictions
resulting from this work will be published on the City web page and provided to
local media via the City's weekly Road Report.
Crack sealing is an inexpensive, preventative maintenance
treatment that can significantly delay roadway deterioration. Crews apply
sealing material directly into cracks before cracks become too large or before
the road is subject to freeze-thaw cycles. Flexible, rubberized asphalt
sealants bond to crack walls and move with the pavement, preventing water from
entering the road base. The life of the road is extended and maintenance
costs are greatly reduced.
