Major Street Resurfacing and Rehabilitation Program

The Street Operations division utilizes multiple pavement management methods to repair, maintain and extend the life of City streets. Every few years, the City conducts a pavement condition assessment of Springfield's roadway network. Information from this assessment helps identify immediate maintenance needs, monitor pavement condition over time, develop preventive maintenance strategies and assist with budgeting available funds. 

Asphalt Overlays are a pavement maintenance and rehabilitation method that involves first milling the street to remove old pavement. A layer of new asphalt is then laid generally within a few days to provide a smooth driving surface. 

What to expect:Asphalt Milling

The public can expect single-lane closures along each segment planned for overlay work. A flagger may be posted to maintain 2-way traffic around the work site. Periodic full lane closures may be necessary depending on the volume and characteristics of the roadway. 

Between milling and overlay steps, the roadway surface is rough, but driveable. Motorists are advised to use caution when traveling through these work zones. 

The City will make an effort to communicate about upcoming overlay segments 2-3 weeks ahead of scheduled work. The City's contractor is also required to provide notice to area businesses and residences 48 hours in advance of work. The work schedule is very weather dependent and often subject to change based on the contractor's schedule.
