Village Of Skokie: Annual Roadway Crack Sealing Program

Press release from the Village of Skokie:

November 16, 2021

Weather permitting, the annual Village crack sealing project will commence shortly.  Crack sealing is a low cost preventative measure used to extend the life of asphalt pavement by preventing water from penetrating the surface of the pavement.  Existing cracks need to be cleaned before they can be sealed in order to allow for a good bond between the sealant and the pavement.  This makes it a very dusty undertaking, but overall disturbance is minimal as work in any given area is completed within a matter of hours.  Within a few days of cracks being sealed, the streets will be swept and work is then complete.  The list of streets we will be crack sealing this year is as follows:

 Kirk - Crawford to Hamlin

Laramie - Howard to Harvard

Brummel - Niles Center to Lavergne

Dobson - Lavergne to Lincoln

Kildare - Golf to Grant

Payne - Lowell to Keeler

Grant - Kildare to Keeler

Keystone - Church to Emerson

Terminal - Golf to Emerson

Greenwood - Crawford to Keeler

Enfield - Crawford to Keeler

Drake - Dempster to Main

Crain - Niles Center to Skokie Blvd

Greenleaf - Niles Center to Skokie Blvd

Lee - Niles Center to Skokie Blvd

Mulford - Long to Niles Center
