Category B & 2025 Resurfacing Projects

The City recently received bids for both the Category B & 2025 Resurfacing Project. These projects are being undertaken to resurface several asphalt roadways throughout the City of St. Joseph by removing ~1.5-2" of the existing asphalt and replacing it with new asphalt. The resurfacing work will require short duration road and lane closures duting before the removal and the placement of the asphalt.  During the closures house that front on selected roadways will not have access to their driveways. Please plan to park on a nearby side street if the vehicle will be needed the day of the closure. Overnight parking restrictions will be waived for the duration of the project. Please do not park on the street the night before a roadway is scheduled to be resurfaced.

While both projects are similar in scope the funding sources differ.  The 2025 Resurfacing Project is funded by city funds entirely while the Category B Resurfacing Project is receiving a 50% grant from the State of Michigan.

• Do not run sprinklers the night before or morning of the scheduled treatment.
• Closures will be generally be during working and will only be in place while the contractor is completing the work.
