Pavement Sealing Work Continues

George -

From Monday, November 18, through Friday, November 22, Circle C
Paving & Construction of Goddard, Kansas will continue work on the City
of Salina’s annual pavement crack sealing project by sealing cracks in
the following streets, weather permitting.

  • Beloit from Roach to Lewis
  • Beloit from West End to Quincy
  • Saddlebrook from Eaglecrest to North End
  • Sherwood from Nottingham to Red Hawk
  • Bentley from Sherwood to End

The work will take place 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.
