Crack filling work at multiple locations throughout the city will begin on September 27. Work is expected to take approximately two weeks, with crews working every night, weather permitting.
Crack filling involves applying hot rubberized asphalt material to cracks in the roadway. The material seals cracks caused by asphalt expanding and contracting due to temperature changes. This treatment helps extend the lifespan of the roadway and reduces the chance of cracks developing into potholes.
Work will begin at 7 p.m. each night and will use a mobile rolling closure. Only one lane will be closed at a time. Drivers can expect temporary lane restrictions and reduced speeds, and ramps and loops may be closed for up to 30 minutes at a time.
Motorists are asked to follow posted signs and use caution when travelling through work areas.
Crack filling will take place at the following locations:
The order and timing of work may change depending on weather and other construction activities.
