Citywide Asphalt Pavement Crack Sealing Begins Next Week

Project Description
The City of Evanston will complete asphalt pavement crack sealing at locations across the city beginning the week of September 4, 2017. The work is expected to take three to four weeks to complete, weather permitting.

Drivers should expect short delays in specific work zones as flaggers route traffic around the work crews. "No Parking" restrictions will be short in duration and specific to each work area. The work in each location will take one to four hours to complete. Street cleaning of the debris typically occurs the day after the crack sealing is done.

This project will grind out sections of longitudinal and transverse cracks that have reflected through to the surface. Once the cracks are “routed,” a fluid rubberized sealing material is injected back into the crack to seal it against water infiltration. This is an important step in preserving our pavement infrastructure. After the contractor finishes, the street will be immediately ready for traffic.

The work is expected to seal 220,000 linear feet of cracks in asphalt pavement at 16 locations around the city.

Priority locations include:

• Dodge Avenue (Oakton to Main Streets)
• Dodge Avenue (Dempster to Emerson Streets)
• Forest Avenue (Main to Dempster Streets)
• Oak Avenue (Dempster to Lake Streets)
• Lake Street (Pitner to Elmwood Avenues)
• South Boulevard (east of Chicago Avenue)
• Sheridan Road (south of South Boulevard)

 

Secondary locations include:

• Ashland Avenue (north of Mulford Street)
• Ashland Avenue (Main to Lee Streets)
• Jackson Avenue (Lincoln to Colfax Streets)
• Colfax Street (Poplar to Jackson Avenues)

• Greenwood Street (Darrow to Dewey Avenues)
• Lee Street (McDaniel to Pitner Avenues)
