Monday, July 2, 2018
Beginning, Monday, July 9th resurfacing work on Marquette St will begin. Initially work will reduce Marquette to one lane of travel between: Lombard and W Central Park, W 29th St and the Duck Creek Recreational Trail, and between W 34th and W 38th Streets. The intersections of Lombard, W Central Park and 35th St will remain open for the duration of the project.
About 1 week into the project, approximately July 16th, the road will be fully closed in these locations for about 5 days. This will be followed by finish work under a lane reduction for approximately one more month following the closure.
All work is estimated to be complete by the end of August.
In addition to resurfacing, this project will include some sewer and sidewalk work.
Of interest, this resurfacing project is being performed using a “crack & seat” technique. The method involves cracking, or breaking, the concrete pavement and then applying asphalt directly over the broken concrete. The method has been used successfully in other cities and was recommended by the Asphalt Paving Association of Iowa. The process is typically quicker than typical milling, patching, and asphalt overlay process and is also a less expensive method of resurfacing.
