On Tuesday, September 3, 2024, A&B Asphalt Corporation and its subcontractors are scheduled to start work on the City of Urbana’s 2024 Asphalt Program which is under contract for $599,866.85.  All work is weather permitting and is anticipated to last about one month.  Final completion will be on or before October 11, 2024.  Parking restrictions will be posted within work areas, and vehicles parked in violation will be towed.  In addition, flaggers will be used to maintain traffic. 

Under this program, the following streets are scheduled to be resurfaced: Gwynne Street from Railroad Street to North Oakland Street; Lafayette Avenue from North Main Street to Wood Street; Lincoln Place from North Main Street to Wood Street; Westview Drive; North Drive; Julia Street from Bloomfield Avenue to the northern dead end; and Julia Street from Dellinger Road to the southern dead end. 

With project work planned on Lincoln Place and Lafayette Avenue, areas near Hillclimber Stadium on Wood Street will permit on-street parking in the evenings for scheduled events at the stadium.

Project work is scheduled to start with pavement repairs to the existing pavement with milling of the existing asphalt surface to follow.  Once the pavement repair work and milling process are completed, a subcontractor is scheduled to chip seal all of the streets that are planned for resurfacing.  Chip sealing is installed as an interlayer to reduce future cracking and moisture penetration between the existing asphalt and the new pavement surface and is intended only as a temporary driving surface.  Once the chip sealing is completed, the final surface course will be installed with the adjustment of manholes and water valves and pavement striping where required to follow.

In advance of this asphalt resurfacing work, D.L. Smith Concrete LLC completed city-funded curb ramp replacements on Lafayette Avenue, Lincoln Place, and Gwynne Street.  In addition, this concrete contractor replaced deteriorated or missing sidewalks and curb sections on these streets where property owners either opted for the city to complete this work or failed to complete this work themselves prior to the deadline.  Billing to each property owner followed completion of this concrete work.

Earlier this summer, the restriping of pavement markings within the city was completed by First Star Safety LLC for $11,307.39 on Scioto Street (State Route 29 East), US Route 36 East, and North Oakland Street.  In addition, pavement markings were refreshed on Childrens Home Road and East Lawn Avenue with costs shared between the City of Urbana and Urbana Township for these two roadways.  Furthermore, Russell Standard Corporation completed the crack sealing of multiple city streets in May at a cost of $36,152.10.

Lastly, this summer, the City of Urbana paid the Champaign County Engineer’s Office to make repairs on James Avenue between South Edgewood Avenue and College Way and to chip seal and fog seal the driveways within Oak Dale Cemetery.
