On Tuesday, October 6, Vance Brothers of Kansas City, Missouri, will continue work on the City of Salina’s 2026 microsurfacing project along West Ash Street from Broadway Boulevard to Ninth Street.
Work is scheduled from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. During construction, Ash Street will be closed to westbound traffic between Ninth Street and Broadway Boulevard. Ash Street will remain open to eastbound traffic only, traveling from Ninth Street toward Broadway Boulevard.
Motorists traveling westbound are encouraged to use the signed detour route: Iron Avenue west to College Avenue, north to State Street, and west to Broadway Boulevard.
Motorists are encouraged to use alternate routes when possible, slow down in the work zone, and follow all traffic-control devices. Please watch for construction crews and equipment.
Microsurfacing is a common method of pavement surface treatment which consists of a polymer modified asphalt slurry (about 3/8 inch thick) that coats the pavement surface and creates a smooth moisture-resistant barrier. It also increases ride-ability and seals smaller cracks. When combined with proper pavement sealing, micro-surfacing extends the service life of the roadway. Streets are estimated for microsurfacing on a 6 to 8 year cycle.
The $950,000 project is a major component of the City of Salina's $5.9 million 2026 maintenance capital improvement program.
