Pavement sealing work in Salina will take place from Monday, February 24, through Friday, February 28. Circle C Paving & Construction of Goddard, Kansas, will work on the City of Salina’s annual pavement crack sealing project by sealing cracks in the following streets, weather permitting.

Streets impacted include:

Crawford from Briarcliff to the east, Edgehill, Fairdale from Applewood to Brookwood, Fairdale from Glen to Edgehill, Eastborough from Seitz to the south, Marymount from Iron to Country Club, Country Club from Marymount to Eastborough, East Park Ln, West Park Ln, Stack from Delaware to Missouri, Indian Rock Ln, Edison Pl, Westbend, Waverly, Westchester, and YMCA Dr.

The work will take place between the hours of 7:30 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 cost-effective 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 first installment of the City of Salina’s 2025 Crack Seal annual maintenance project. The full project cost of all installments totals $486,000.
