What to Expect During a Street Repair, Overlay or Reconstruction

Many factors go into a street reconstruction, asphalt overlay or alley reconstruction.

First, a survey of the area is taken and evaluated to determine the project limits, such as a realistic timeline, materials and other ongoing project conflicts. Keep in mind, the City of Garland Street Department has an ongoing schedule of all street repairs.

Two Weeks Before the Repair:

A detailed notice is hand-delivered to your home. You will find an overview of the project, a timeline and what to expect throughout the repair process, including specific requests to ensure a safe and productive construction site.

About One Week Before the Repair or Resurfacing:

Weather permitting, the repair will go as scheduled according to the date/time provided by the Street Department. Each street rehabilitation, overlay or reconstruction requires specific guidelines. Once the construction begins, you will have limited access to your street until the project is completed and open to traffic. In some cases during the reconstruction, the street may be closed to traffic at various times throughout the day.

Day of Repair or Resurfacing:

The Street Department will begin working as early as 6:30 a.m. Be mindful of construction areas during this time and only hand-water your lawns.

‌

What to Expect Once the Repair is Finished:

It is important that the pavement is allowed cure time, so please keep all vehicles away from the construction site.

Upon the completion of your street or alley repair, be aware of caution tape or blocked-off zones as there may still be areas that are not full strength. A Street Department representative will survey the location once the project is complete to ensure the location is cleaned and ready for use before removing cautionary cones, tape, and other safety equipment. Be safe and drive slowly through or near any construction sites. Be aware of warning signs as you proceed.

**The City of Garland is not responsible for any damage to vehicles if you do not follow protocol.**
