Wiltsey Lane and Enchanted Point gravel services will have an Otta Seal layer sprayed onto the surface to reduce dust. The process is two-part, with an initial seal sprayed on day one and an additional seal sprayed a day or two later. Access to driveways is only restricted when the spray is taking place behind the driveway, and drivers can drive on the surface following the sealing. The Otta Seal process will take place the week of September 12.

Mill and overlay is the road construction process where the current road surface is taken up, reground and the material is used to repave the road surface. The process is quick with drivers able to use the road in the same day. The city has a schedule of roads for the summer 2022 mill and overlay. The work will take place in August. If you have questions, please call the city at 952.960.7900.

Homeowner Impacts:
When the contractor is working on your segment of the project, please be patient for everyone’s safety. We ask that you please follow the directions given by the workers. If you have an invisible fence or irrigation system, please mark them prior to work beginning to reduce the risk of damaging the system. We apologize for the inconvenience that this project will cause and thank you for your cooperation. The intent of the project team is to maintain access to properties throughout the construction; however, at times construction activities may interfere with access to individual properties for a short period of time. With that in mind, the project team will work with individual property owners during times of disruption. Please do not park on the street when construction begins. Additional information will be sent as needed to inform residents of any vital construction activities.
