City of Bellevue Public Works Department Release Updated Street Resurfacing Schedule

The City of Bellevue's Public Works Department has released an updated tentative schedule for the ongoing 2018 Street Resurfacing Program which is being conducted in association with the Nebraska Department of Transportation. This tentative construction schedule shows the projected dates for milling and paving operations as well as the dates that road closures will be necessary to complete improvements. Maps and Detour information is provided with this article.

The resurfacing program is one of the most visible programs the City undertakes each year and is 80% funded through the State program.  Through this program the City resurfaces and repairs streets damaged by age, freezing and thawing, and other factors.  Generally, the work will consist of milling off 2” of the existing surface, and laying down a new asphalt surface course.  This new surface is smooth and will extend the life of the street. Utility adjustments of manholes, valve boxes, and inlets will be completed once milling and resurfacing. 

As with all roadway construction activities, this work may cause an inconvenience to you.  When it is safe, local access will be provided during construction and when construction is not occurring.  It is not anticipated that the construction will require overnight roadway closures.  The public is asked not to move or otherwise tamper with barricades or other warning devices.  They are the primary mechanism for identifying potentially unsafe conditions.  If applicable, please advise others (including children) at your location of the upcoming work and the need to exercise due care when in areas near or adjacent to the construction areas and activities.
