The City of Galveston will begin the next round of its ongoing pavement preservation project in March, with more than 20 roadways scheduled for resurfacing across the island.
In 2023, the City completed a comprehensive pavement assessment of all roadways and developed a multi-year plan to address necessary repairs. The first round of improvements was completed in 2024. This next phase includes streets located in the West End, Midtown, and East End neighborhoods.
Residents who live on streets scheduled for repaving will receive advance notice via door hanger prior to the start of construction on their roadway.
The project is expected to continue through June at an estimated cost of approximately $1.5 million.
The contractor will apply a pavement preservation treatment known as microsurfacing, which helps extend the life of existing roadways and improve driving conditions. The project will be completed in a multi-step process consisting of:
- Asphalt patching
- Crack sealing
- Scrub sealing
- Microsurfacing
- Pavement marking
There will be an anticipated gap of approximately 30 days between completion of the first two steps (asphalt patching and crack sealing) and the start of scrub sealing, microsurfacing, and pavement marking.
Drivers may experience minor traffic delays during construction. The City appreciates the public’s patience as we work to maintain and improve roadway conditions across Galveston.
