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 resurface immediately so residents should avoid driving on them if at all
possible and if they do we recommend not exceeding 10 MPH. 18 to 24 hours before
these streets are resurfaced an primer oil will be applied 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 tiers to the vehicle and it may track onto other surfaces
such as driveways and sidewalks.
If anyone decides to drive on this oil they do so at their own risk and the city
or contractors will not be responsible for any damage caused by doing so.
Any questions or concerns please contact the Lincoln Street Department at
217-732-4655.
