On Wednesday through Friday, January 29 through January 31, Ponton and Virtus will begin to repair the City of Salina’s brick medians along the S. 9th Street corridor. This project also includes related curb & gutter repairs.
The work will be completed with minimal lane closures on each side of the median where it is occurring. Motorists should expect minor delays, although through traffic is encouraged to utilize alternate routes during construction. Weather permitting, each installment of the work is expected to last a week. Motorists are urged to proceed with caution for the safety of the crews performing the work.
This type of maintenance has been used to help extend the life of many roads throughout the City of Salina and is an accepted practice of repair around the State of Kansas.
It consists of removing settled, heaved, or damaged bricks and reestablishing the base to reposition them. Brick pattern and spacing shall generally match pattern and spacing of adjacent bricks and pavement. Salvaged bricks shall be used for as many repairs as possible. Also, limited curb and gutter removal and replacement will occur concurrently in each location as needed along the S. 9th Street medians.
The scheduled work described above is the first installment of the City of Salina’s 2024 Brick Street Repair maintenance project. The full project cost of all installments totals $52,000.
