Road Program
The City of Kewanee is excited to announce that the 2024 Road Program is tentatively scheduled to begin in mid-October, with completion expected before Thanksgiving. This year’s improvements will focus on roads located in the southeast quadrant of the city.
The streets included in this year's program are shown on the attached map, with areas scheduled for resurfacing highlighted in orange. These streets will receive a hot mix asphalt sand seal surface, a treatment that involves applying a thin layer of asphalt followed by a layer of sand. This process seals small cracks, prevents water from penetrating the road surface, and provides additional skid resistance. It is a cost-effective solution for maintaining smooth and durable roadways.
Resident Notifications:
Residents affected by the 2024 Road Program will be notified in advance regarding any potential impacts on school parking, trash and recycling collection, and temporary road closures that may affect residential accessibility. We appreciate your cooperation during this time and encourage you to reach out with any concerns.
Residents in the southeast quadrant should also anticipate temporary road closures and detours as construction progresses. Please follow posted signs and plan for alternate routes where necessary. Updates on the project’s progress will be provided throughout the construction phase.
For more information or if you have any questions regarding the 2024 Road Program, please contact City Hall.
