LINCOLN
- Beginning Tuesday September 13, 2016, the Resurfacing project will
get underway. The contractor will start applying oil and chip at
7:00 AM in the area between Woodlawn Rd. and 5th St. between Elm and
Madison from there they will go to Connolley Rd. then move south of
5th St. and then counterclockwise around the city.
|
No parking signs will be put up in the areas where work is to
take place. Citizens should avoid parking on the streets in these
areas. The oil and Chip Portion of the project is estimated to take
two days. Weather permitting the crews will begin the
scarification portion of the project beginning Thursday September
15th again no parking signs will be put up to notify residents not
to park on the street.
Streets will remain open unless crews are actively working. Some
streets will receive a standard oil and chip application. Others
will go through a scarification and regrading process. After the
scarification, these streets will not be resurfaced immediately, so
residents should avoid driving on them if at all possible. If they
do, we recommend not exceeding 10 mph on these streets. A primer oil
will be applied 18 to 24 hours before these streets are resurfaced
and we highly recommend residents do not drive on these areas unless
absolutely necessary. If it is unavoidable, we recommend not
exceeding 5 mph. It would be very likely that oil will transfer from
tires to the vehicle and it may also track onto other surfaces such
as driveways and sidewalks.

If anyone decides to drive on this oil, they do so at their own risk. The City
or contractors will not be responsible for any damage caused by doing so.
As always it is recommended that motorist and pedestrians alike avoid these
areas if possible. If you must travel in these areas please use extreme caution.
Any questions or concerns, please contact the City of Lincoln Street Department
at 217-732-4655.
