  Roadway and Related Maintenance

Roadway maintenance includes: bridge maintenance; road patching ( filling potholes, full depth repairs, skin patching and crack sealing ); road resurfacing with either asphalt or slurry seal; shoulder maintenance and storm drain maintenance, including erosion repairs, roadway ditch and channel repairs, cleaning enclosed storm drains, and installation and repair of damaged pipes. Related activities include: grass mowing; guardrail replacement; street cleaning/sweeping; and maintenance of curbs, gutters, and sidewalks.

Large-scale reconstruction, resurfacing, or repair projects are scheduled each Fiscal Year, depending on funding availability. Such projects include Primary and Arterial Road resurfacing, Residential Street resurfacing and maintenance of street curb and gutter and sidewalks adjacent to publicly maintained streets. To view the current schedules for these programs, please follow appropriate links listed below. The Highway Maintenance Section performs emergency repair work as needed (also contingent on funding). Examples of emergency repair work include: potholes, blocked stormdrains and other problems that may present a public safety concern. You can report a pothole online by going to the Pothole Reporting form.
