LYNDALE AVENUE RECONSTRUCTION
2020 Crack Sealing to Begin in October!
The 2020 crack sealing project is set to begin in October and should last 2-3 weeks. Streets that were milled and overlaid in 2017 and 2018 will receive crack sealing treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions:
How long will the crack sealing take on each street? Typically less than 30 minutes per block.
What does crack sealing entail? The contractor will be cleaning and sealing cracks in the road surface with a flexible rubber-like material. A bio-degradable white paper, resembling toilet paper, is placed over the sealant to protect it from traffic until it has cooled. The crack sealing helps to limit infiltration of water into the pavement, thereby minimizing the formation of potholes and extending the life of the roadway.
My street was just repaved, why is it cracking already? It is typical for cracks to form in pavement over time, even within the first few years after paving. By sealing the cracks now, when they are small, we can minimize the impact that they have on roadway.
Do we need to move our cars? How long do we need to stay off my street? Please refrain from parking on the street if possible over the next 2-3 weeks between 7am and 8pm. You can drive and park on the roadway as soon as the work is complete; you will notice the freshly sealed cracks with white paper when the work is complete.
How long will the project last? The project is expected to last two to three weeks, weather depending.
