On Wednesday through Friday, March 22nd through 24, Circle C Paving & Construction of Goddard, Kansas will seal cracks on the following streets, weather permitting:

Parking Lot southwest of Iron and Fifth - Wednesday

Deborah, 2635 East - Wednesday

Ninth Street East Frontage Road, Gold North - Thursday

Otis, Third to Fourth and Santa Fe to Ninth - Thursday

Harsh, Third to Ninth - Friday

The work will take place generally between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.  Access to properties within work zones will be maintained at all times.  “Road Work Ahead” signs will be placed in advance of work zones, and temporary single-lane closures are to be expected.  Motorists are asked to proceed with caution when approaching work zones for the safety of the crews performing the work.

 The annual crack and joint sealing program is an important and cost-effective preventive maintenance component of the City of Salina’s annual street repair program.  Crack sealing the pavement helps prevent water from penetrating into the pavement structure or sub-base material and aids in reducing a number of pavement problems which include:  crack spreading; formation of voids under pavement; swelling and shrinking of sub-base materials; freeze-thaw action; alligator cracking; potholing; and complete failure.  Because of its importance and cost- effectiveness, the Department of Public Works strives to seal each asphalt street in Salina no less often than every seven years.

 This $491,000 project is part of the City's $5.3 million 2023 street maintenance program.
