Crack sealing begins on city streets

A city-hired contractor will be working on crack sealing and filling on city streets beginning Monday.

National Pavement Maintenance LLC has been hired as part of the city’s preventative maintenance plan for city streets, according to the city’s engineer office. The completion date for the project is June 28, weather permitting.

By keeping cracks sealed, less water penetrates the asphalt pavement, which results in fewer potholes and longer lasting streets.

Crews will begin work in Carter Crossing and then move to these other areas in order: Princeton Park, Progress Park, Spear Street, Wildflower, Shadow Creek Farms, County Roads 200S and 150W.

Streets will be posted “No Parking” 24 hours prior to the work, city officials said. In the event of rain, the streets will remain posted “No Parking” and residents may park temporarily from 5 p.m. to 7 a.m.
