City Of North Platte Engineering Department Press Release

The City of North Platte Engineering Departments’ contractor, Hall Brothers, will begin their seal  coating operation and will continue this project for 2-3 weeks on asphalt streets that have been overlayed within  the last ten years or so. You will be notified with a printed flier which will be posted on cars parked along the  street and placed in the doors of residences along the project streets. There will be some short periods of time  that your driveway will not be accessible as these operations pass your residence. We apologize for any  inconvenience that this may pose and will work as quickly as possible to minimize the inconvenience. If you  have any questions, please contact the contractor on site, or the Engineering Department at 535-6724. 

Seal coating is scheduled to begin Wednesday, July 19, 2023, on Walker Road from  Willow Street to Echo Drive. 

PRIOR TO SEAL COATING -- PLEASE… 

Remove all vehicles and trailers by 7:00 a.m. 

Pull vehicles as far as possible onto your property to avoid the  possibility of flying debris and/or overspray of oil onto your  vehicle. 

Vehicles left on street will be towed away from the work area. Turn off all sprinklers. 

Seal Coat Process: 

1. Street will be cleaned. 

2. Coat of oil and gravel will be  applied. 

3. After asphalt has cured - within a week or 2 the gravel  will be removed.

Drive cautiously on sealed streets until excess material has been removed. 

ONCE ASPHALT IS CURED, USUALLY WITHIN ONE DAY, REGULAR PARKING CAN RESUME. 

NOTE THAT LIQUID ASPHALT WILL STICK TO SHOES AND TIRES AND IS DIFFICULT TO  REMOVE. KEEP CHILDREN AND PETS AWAY FROM THE STREET.
