Pavement Major Maintenance Program Overlays and Slurry Seals

Road Work Ahead

The City's Pavement Major Maintenance Program (PMMP) continues its annual long-term street preventive and corrective maintenance program this summer. This program extends pavement life, avoids much more costly street reconstruction, and is funded by the Street Maintenance Fee revenue. Streets are chosen by an evaluation of the types and extent of pavement distress, traffic volumes and locations.

Two of the most effective and economical rehabilitative treatments to extend the life of existing pavements are slurry seals and pavement overlays (paving). Slurry seal treatments seal raveled pavement and fill minor cracks while restoring the aesthetic appearance of a local street. Pavement overlays are applied for maintenance of streets that have serious pavement failure due to large traffic volumes and/or lack of rock support underneath the pavement.

This year's pavement maintenance program is divided into three phases: Phases I and III are the installation of pavement overlay and slurry seal, respectively, on various streets; and Phase II is the replacement of the pavement surface and road base of 79th Ave. Following are the streets included under each phase.

Phase I: Overlay (paving) View the paving schedule.

87th Ave (north of Pinebrook St to end)
88th Ave (north of Pinebrook St to end)
89th Ave (north & South of Pinebrook St)
92nd Ave (View Terrace to Inez St)
93rd Ave (Inez St to McDonald St)
94th CT (south of View Terrace to end)
Ashford Loop (From 79th Ave to the end of the Cul-de-sac)
Elrose Ct (East of 93rd Ave to end)
Mountain View Lane (150' east of View Terrace to end)
Pinebrook Ct (west of 89th Ave)
Pinebrook St (89th Ave to Hall Blvd)
View Terrace (110' west of 94th Ct to 92nd Ave)
Walnut St (Benish to Barrows Rd)

Traffic delays are anticipated during the extended paving period. All vehicles will need to be removed from the street prior to paving. A two-week advance notice will be mailed to area residents, and business on, or near, the paving sites at the affected streets. A 48-hour notice will be distributed to properties within the work zone. Walnut Street will be paved between 9:00 AM and 3:30 PM. All other streets will be paved anytime between 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM. Once streets have been paved and barricades removed, motorist will be able to drive on the new pavement.

Phase II: Replacement of pavement surface and road base

79th Ave (Bond to Ashford)

Phase III: Slurry Seal View the slurry seal map and schedule.

86th & 87th Ct (north of Inez St)
88th & 90th Ave (off of Greensward Lane)
91st Ave (north of Pinebrook St)
92nd Ave (Sattler to Inez St)
Greensward Lane (90th to Hall Blvd)
Heidi, Leslie & Dawn Ct (off of 92nd Ave)
Inez St (97th to Hall Blvd)
Pinebrook St (92nd to 89th Ave)
View Terrace (at the corner west of 94th Ct)

Streets will be closed during the application of slurry seal. An informational brochure will be distributed approximately two weeks prior to commencement of work. A 48-hour notice will be distributed to properties within the work zone. The application and curing process will take up to 6 hours between the hours of 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM.

"NO PARKING" signs will be up the day before placement of the sealant. Tire tracks on wet slurry will leave permanent marks. All vehicles should be removed from streets and pets should be kept indoors on the date of slurry seal application. Traffic will be allowed only after the slurry seal has dried and barricades have been removed by the contractor.

Construction for both projects will begin in August. For updates and/or additional information, please visit our Capital Construction webpage or call Vannie Nguyen, P.E., at 503-718-2460.
