Street paving project underway

Work to repave several streets within Boulder City will begin soon as part of the 2016-2017 slurry seal maintenance project.

Public Works Director Scott Hansen said that Morgan Pavement Maintenance began Monday and will continue for approximately two months on various streets within the city. The company has already placed signs notifying residents about the project throughout streets in downtown Boulder City.

“Work will include site preparation, property owner notification, traffic control, crack sealing, slurry seal pavement overlay and cleanup,” Hansen said.

Streets to be worked on as part of the project include: Industrial, Buchanan, Joshua, Fir, Date, Railroad, Birch, Cherry, Ash, Avenue A, Avenue B, Aztec, and Hotel Plaza.

“The contract is for 60 days, so all work should be done by the end of July,” Hansen said.

The specific dates for road closures were not available and Morgan Pavement did not respond requests for this information.

Boulder City starts ‘Adopt-A-Streetscape’ program

The city of Boulder City maintains 92 miles of public roads – that includes both sides of the street and the medians as well. And, while the city’s streets and landscape crews do an exceptional job at maintenance and upkeep, the reality is that sometimes, it is hard to keep up that pristine appearance. Sadly, some people litter. Weeds grow quickly and wind can cause garbage and debris to fly away.
