Crack Seal Program
Beginning Tuesday, May 7, City contractors began work across Lawrence for the City’s Crack Seal Program. This yearly program facilitates preventative maintenance on streets that have been identified for crack sealing.
Crack sealing is a preservation treatment process in which hot sealant is applied to cracks in pavement to prevent water intrusion, thus extending the life of our roadways.
Crews will perform crack sealing work continuously through the week, Monday through Saturday from 7 AM to 7 PM, to complete the list of identified streets. In each work location, various temporary lane closures will occur on the day of scheduled work to allow the mobile crack sealing work to be performed. This work will continue through mid-June, pending weather or other delays.
No Parking Signs:
- Generally, within 24 to 72 hours of placement of the no parking signs, City contractors will complete crack seal work in the area and remove signs. After the local work is completed, signs and restrictions will be removed.
- Crack sealing is a short duration mobile operation.
The 2024 Crack Seal Program map (PDF) is available to view online. Please be mindful of crews and reduce speed in areas where work is being performed.
