Crack Sealing Project To Start On May 13 In Shakopee City

Press release from the City of Shakopee:

May 5, 2020

UPDATE MAY 7: Due to cooler forecast temperatures, the crack sealing project is scheduled to start Wednesday, May 13.

The city's annual pavement maintenance project, crack sealing, will begin this week.

Crack sealing blows out cracks in city streets and fills with rubber. The material is then covered with biodegradable toilet paper. The process is intended to extend the life of pavement.

Crack sealing can be a messy operation. The contractor will post no parking signs to indicate work areas. Please move your vehicle off the street and away from the end of your driveway due to blown rock and debris. It is OK to drive over the paper.

Crack sealing operations are expected to continue through the week.
