2011 Road Construction Updates

The 2011 Road Program is under way. There are three main types of road improvements that the Engineering Department makes: street reconstruction, street rehabilitation and street resurfacing.

Street Reconstruction

Pavement reconstruction involves removing the pavement and the base below it. Sometimes, the curb is removed, too. Of the three types of road improvement projects, this is the most extensive.

Street Rehabilitation

This process involves the complete removal and replacement of the curb, followed by resurfacing the entire pavement surface.

Street Resurfacing

Resurfacing, which is the quickest of the three methods of pavement construction, involves grinding the existing pavement to accommodate a pavement overlay.

Please note that this program includes the replacement or improvement of City roads, not routine street maintenance. Routine maintenance such as patching or sealing is done by the Public Works Department. For more information about the Road Construction Program, see the related Frequently Asked Questions section.

If you have questions about the road program, please call the Engineering Department at 630-260-2065.
