Street Maintenance Projects
3rd Street and Russell Street Intersection—Milling and Paving Project
Location: The intersection of 3rd St. and Russell St. Traffic on 3rd St. will be detoured around the work area, but through traffic on Russell St. will be allowed (see detour map).
Description: Street Maintenance crews mill out old, damaged pavement and apply new asphalt.
Benefits: Pavement projects such as this help to preserve the street by fixing damaged areas that allow water to seep into and under the asphalt. Water damages the street, especially in the winter when the water goes through freeze and thaw phases, by breaking up the asphalt, resulting in potholes and cracks.
Project Dates: Milling will take place Tuesday, Sept. 27, with paving work on Wednesday, Sept. 28. Through traffic will be allowed on Russell St. with one lane of traffic available and flaggers monitoring traffic flow. Drive slowly and cautiously in the construction area for everyone's safety.
Construction dates are subject to change due to weather conditions and other unforeseen circumstances. This page will be updated if construction dates change.

Spruce St. Crack-Sealing Work—Completed
Location: Spruce St. from Orange St. to Scott St.
Description: Street Maintenance crews will perform asphalt crack sealing.
Benefits: Crack sealing prevents water from seeping under the adjacent pavement and further degrading the asphalt and likely would result in potholes.
Project Dates: Work will begin on Wed., June 29 and expect to be done the next day. Crews will work on one block of Spruce St. at a time. Please watch for flaggers and detour signs, and use caution when driving or bicycling through the area. Detours will be temporary as crews work block-by-block along Spruce St.
