Vance Brothers of Kansas City, Missouri, will continue work on the City of Salina’s 2026 Microsurfacing Project on Tuesday, October 6, and Wednesday, October 7.
On Tuesday, October 6, Crews will microsurface Hixson beginning at approximately 5:30 p.m. Hixson will be closed to all traffic during construction.
On Wednesday, October 7, Crews will microsurface the outside lanes of Ninth Street from Euclid Avenue north to the bridge, beginning at approximately 7:30 a.m. Ninth Street will remain open with one lane of traffic maintained in each direction.
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.
