Crack sealing program set for select city roads
September 25, 2024

Medicine Hat – The City of Medicine Hat will begin an asphalt crack sealing project on select roadways around the city beginning Thursday, September 26. Weather permitting, this project is expected to be completed by the end of October 2024.

These roadways have been selected for crack sealing through the City’s pavement management system as well as visual inspection.
The main purpose of a crack sealing treatment is to stop moisture from penetrating the base and subgrade of the road, which prevents the weakening of the roadway structure. Asphalt crack sealing aims to extend the life of roadways, and prevent future larger maintenance projects, which are more costly. This proactive project is a key component of the City's road maintenance strategy.
Traffic accommodation plans will be in place as this project begins. One lane will be kept open for each of these work areas. Motorists are reminded to obey all posted signs and speed limits, and are encouraged to avoid these work areas where possible for the safety of travellers and crews.
The City of Medicine Hat thanks residents for their patience and understanding during this maintenance project which ensures safe and reliable infrastructure for years to come.
