The City of Edmonds will be installing new paving surfaces and ramps various local streets in 2025.
A map of this year's program is available here.
WHAT TO EXPECT ON GRIND DAY: The contractor's grinding operation tends to move at a good pace and the road can be driven on immediately after grinding. You may be blocked out of your driveway or your small side street for durations of 10 to 20 minutes.
WHAT TO EXPECT ON PAVE DAY: If you have anywhere important to be on pave day you should leave early or park your car on a neighboring street. You may be blocked out of your driveway for anywhere from 5 to 7 hours and it's impossible to predict what time that will start or end. You will most likely be able to drive on your street again by the end of the day.
MOTORIST ALERT: Expect delays for lane shifts and traffic control operations during work hours (7AM-5PM). For the safety of construction workers, the traveling public, and pedestrians, please use caution when driving through construction zones.
WHY WE CAN'T PAVE IN THE RAIN: Asphalt contains oils and oils repel water. Paving on a wet surface will create cracks in our brand new pavement that can rapidly turn into potholes. We want a quality product and this can't be installed on a wet surface!
