Scope & Design
Pratt Resurfacing
The Pratt Boulevard project includes a full street resurfacing from Western to Sheridan, as well as protected bike lanes and other pedestrian safety improvements.
The resurfacing project includes both concrete work as part of the pedestrian infrastructure improvements, and asphalt resurfacing.
Asphalt resurfacing is usually done in several blocks at a time. The existing asphalt is first milled; 2-3 weeks later, the 1st layer of asphalt is laid, and 2-3 weeks after that, the 2nd and final layer of asphalt is laid. Arterial resurfacing projects do not generally require full road closures, but instead lane closures as needed.
Project Features
