The City of Los Altos is beginning a city-wide street crack-sealing project on Monday (May 4).
City officials said the traffic impact for this project will be minimal. No streets will be closed and vehicles can resume normal traffic flow shortly after the sealant has been applied. Minor traffic control, including flagmen, will be in place to direct traffic. Work is planned to take place between 8 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Officials expect the project to be completed in 2 months.
The project comprises sealing of minor cracks in the street surface with a petroleum / polymer blend sealant. According to the city’s maintenance division, crack-sealing prolongs the life of the street surface by preventing water from seeping into the cracks and causing further pavement deterioration.
Affected locations include the downtown, on West Edith Avenue (between San Antonio Road and Foothill Expressway) and Main Street (between San Antonio Road and First Street).
