May 30 Bishop Street (between College Avenue and Ninth

The work will include applying the asphalt surface treatment and placing temporary pavement markings.
The contractor will begin setting traffic control at 7 am. Temporary traffic control and flaggers will be present to direct vehicles through the work zones and maintain traffic flow; traffic will be reduced to single
lanes in both directions during paving. Residences and businesses will be notified if access to driveways will be restricted while work is
performed.

Microsurfacing is a method of pavement surface treatment which prolongs the serviceability of streets by creating a moisture-resistant barrier while increasing the rideability.

This process has been successfully used in Salina for many years. Combined with joint and crack sealing, this surface treatment program extends the service life of
pavement.
