Los Altos City-Wide Street Crack-Sealing Project Is Underway

News from the city of Los Altos:

A city-wide street crack-sealing project begins today -- Monday, May 4. This project consists of the sealing of minor cracks in the street surface with a petroleum/polymer blend sealant. Crack-sealing prolongs the life of the street surface by preventing water from seeping into the cracks and causing further pavement deterioration.

Traffic Impact

The traffic impact for this project will be minimal. No streets will be closed and vehicles can resume normal traffic flow shortly after the sealant has been applied along with an accelerant for curing, typically around 10-15 minutes after application. Minor traffic control, including flagmen, will be in place to direct traffic accordingly. Work is planned to take place between 8 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. This project is anticipated to be completed in 60 days.

Locations Scheduled for Treatment

Several streets across the City of Los Altos are scheduled for crack-seal treatment. To view which street segments are scheduled for work, check the attached files or visit the project webpage at http://www.losaltosca.gov/publicworks/project/city-wide-street-crack-sealing-project.
