Prescott residents and businesses, brace yourselves for the sound of progress—micro seal pavement preservation is heading your way. Beginning the week of August 5, the City of Prescott, in partnership with Cactus Asphalt, will be launching a street improvement project aimed at extending pavement life and boosting road quality for local motorists. This undertaking will involve multiple roadways and is expected to wrap up by late fall this year.
As part of the process, there's going to be some groundwork to be done which includes crack sealing and milling before micro sealing can even take place; this all has to happen, so that the final result is up to snuff—the City and their contractor, they're not cutting corners.
Details regarding how this will impact you—think temporary street closures, lane restrictions, and a bit more noise than usual—will arrive on your doorstep in the form of a door hanger. It will shed light on the nitty-gritty details such as access, work hours, and what to expect when construction is outside your window. For those eager beavers seeking further information now, a visit to the project's website at prescottroadconstruction.com might quell some of that curiosity.
Expect crews on site Mondays through Fridays, 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., and don't be surprised by the occasional night and weekend work that's par for the course with projects of this nature, the city is committed to causing as little disruption as possible. Residents should remain vigilant for the adjustments in their daily commute and for businesses, planning ahead will be key to navigating the temporary access restrictions.
