City of Salina
Oakdale Park will be closed to vehicular traffic from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Monday, May 11, and Tuesday, May 12, while APAC Shears of Salina begins work on the City of Salina’s Ultrathin Bonded Asphalt Surface (UBAS) project.
During those two days, crews will be working in Oakdale Park to prepare streets for asphalt surfacing work.
Additional preparation work is scheduled for May 13–15 at the following locations:
· West Place, from University to State
· Channel Road
· Coronado Street
· 9th Street, from Kirwin to Republic
Drivers are encouraged to avoid work areas when possible and to use extra caution near construction zones to help protect workers and the public.
UBAS is a preventive street maintenance treatment used to help extend the life of roadways. The process places a thin layer of asphalt over a specialized membrane, helping seal the pavement and improve the roadway surface.
This treatment also helps water drain more quickly from the road surface, which can improve visibility and traction during wet weather. UBAS has been used successfully in communities across Kansas.
This work is part of the City of Salina’s 2025 Asphalt Maintenance Capital Improvement Program. The total contract cost for the project is $898,000.
