From Monday, November 18, through Friday, November 22, Circle C Paving & Construction of Goddard, Kansas will continue work on the City of Salina’s annual pavement crack sealing project by sealing cracks in the following streets, weather permitting.

• Beloit from Roach to Lewis

• Beloit from West End to Quincy

• Saddlebrook from Eaglecrest to North End

• Sherwood from Nottingham to Red Hawk

• Bentley from Sherwood to End

The work will take place between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Access to properties within work zones will be maintained at all times. “Road Work Ahead” signs will be placed in advance of work zones, and temporary single-lane closures are to be expected. Motorists are asked to proceed with caution when approaching work zones for the safety of the crews performing the work.

The annual crack and joint sealing program is an important and costeffective preventive maintenance component of the City of Salina’s annual street repair program. Crack sealing the pavement helps prevent water from penetrating into the pavement structure or sub-base material and aids in reducing a number of pavement problems which include: crack spreading; formation of voids under pavement; swelling and shrinking of sub-base materials; freeze-thaw action; alligator cracking; potholing; and complete failure.

Because of its importance and cost- effectiveness, the Department of Public Works strives to seal each asphalt street in Salina no less often than every seven years.

The scheduled work described above is the thirteenth installment of the City of Salina’s 2024 Crack Seal annual maintenance project. The full project cost of all installments totals $498,000.
