February 3-5, S. 9th Street and Magnolia Ave. Intersection, north to finish Raleigh St. and south to Riffel Median Repairs, and rep[ais at the intersection of Gypsum Ave. and Columbia Ave.
The work will be completed with minimal lane closures on each side of the median/s where the work is occurring.

This type of maintenance has been used to help extend the life of many roads throughout the City of Salina and is an accepted practice of repair around the State of Kansas. It consists of removing settled, heaved, or damaged bricks and reestablishing the base to then reposition bricks. Brick pattern and spacing shall generally match pattern and spacing of adjacent bricks and pavement. Salvaged bricks shall be used for the repairs as much as possible. Also limited curb and gutter removal and replacement will occur concurrently in each location as needed along the S. 9th Street medians.
The scheduled work described above is the next installment of the City of Salina’s 2024 Brick Street Repair maintenance project. The full project cost of all installments totals $52,000.
