City’s spring pavement preservation program begins April 1

The City of Yuma's seasonal pavement preservation program is scheduled to begin April 1 and continue through May 15, with improvements taking place across several neighborhoods and roadways.

Managed by the City's Public Works Department, this program is completed twice a year-in the spring and fall-to help maintain road quality and extend the lifespan of city streets. This includes the application of oil and slurry seal treatments, which help protect pavement and improve driving conditions.

While the work may require temporary lane and street closures, these efforts play an important role in keeping streets safer and in better condition for the community.

Crews will generally operate between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m., with some weekend scheduling to help reduce impacts on higher-traffic streets. Message boards will be placed in advance to notify motorists of activity in specific areas.

"Investing in pavement preservation helps extend the life of our roadways, reduce maintenance needs, and provide safer, smoother streets for the community," said Public Works Manager Joshua Conover.

Residents in impacted areas will receive advance notice prior to work. Contractors with American Pavement Preservation, along with City staff, will provide door hangers at least 48 hours ahead of scheduled treatment. These notices will include specific locations, dates, and expected timeframes.

In addition, the City shares updates online, through its weekly Road Report, and on social media to help keep the community informed.

A complete list of locations, including an interactive map showing street-level details and timing, is available on the Pavement Preservation page of the City's website.

During construction, drivers are encouraged to plan ahead, follow posted signage, and allow for additional travel time in affected areas.
