Chip and seal work to be done in 2025 includes streets to the north and east of downtown, as well as the Golf Course parking lot and driveway.

Chip and seal work is currently in progress, as of Monday, August 18.

Bettis Asphalt delayed work one week due to weather conditions, and are currently working in town to seal the streets to the west of 8th Street and north of High Street, as well as the Golf Course parking lot and driveway. Work is expected to take a few days. See the map below for more details.

At the May 6th, 2025 Council Meeting, City Council approved the annual road resurfacing chip and seal bid to the lowest bidder, which was Bettis Asphalt.

In 2025, work will focus on some of the oldest streets in town, to the west of 8th Street and north of High Street. Streets to be resurfaced with double lift chip and seal include:

  • 10th Street, from High to Ames
  • 9th Street, from Dearborn to Ames (non-brick section)
  • 7th Street blocks from Dearborn to Chapel and Baker to Ames
  • Baker Street, from 6th to 10th
  • Chapel Street, from 6th past 10th to the end of the street
  • Dearborn Street, between 9th & 10th only
  • Elm Street, from 8th to 10th
  • Fremont Street, between 9th & 10th only
  • Grove Street, from 8th past 10th to the end of the street

Add Alternates 1 and 2 are the Golf Course parking lot and driveway. Council approved these portions of the bid as well.

A timeline for the work to be accomplished is not yet final but will likely take place in August. Typically, this work takes a few days and then the crews will return after a approximately 30 days to sweep up excess rock.
