The city of Kenmore participates in the countywide asphalt overlay program, which is part of a maintenance plan designed to prolong the life of city streets. Streets are selected for resurfacing using a pavement management program that rates the conditions of city streets, which allows the city to prioritize streets for maintenance. Streets are then grouped together by location to minimize cost associated with mobilization of paving crews. This year’s overlay program is scheduled to start the week of Sept. 3.

Activities will normally take place between the hours of 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. However, there may be instances when work activities will need to take place outside the normal periods. The project is expected to take approximately four weeks to complete. However, weather or unforeseen conditions may affect the overall schedule.

City officials ask drivers to watch for equipment, flaggers and workers along the road when driving through a work zone, and expect reduced speed limits.
