South Bend plans to spend $10M on resurfacing, reconstructing roads in 2025

ABC 57

SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- The City of South Bend announced on Monday that it's 2025 paving season begins this week and approximately $10 million dollars will be spent on over 90 pavement projects this summer.

The paving season will go through mid-November and cover a total of 48 lane miles, which is a way of measuring the total length of a road, considering the number of lanes it has.

"Streets selected for paving are determined by a surface condition assessment that rates streets on a scale of 0 to 100," a South Bend spokesperson said. "The assessment involves capturing video footage and using specialized software to analyze pavement distresses. Streets with the lowest scores are prioritized for paving each year."

The work will be completed by both city and contractor crews.

"Once work begins on a street, it typically takes three to five days to complete each segment. Streets requiring full reconstruction will take longer," the spokesperson said.

"Streets must be milled and prepped prior to paving and will be closed during working hours of 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.. Signage will be posted prior to the start of construction so residents and businesses are aware of the upcoming work."

Drivers should expect delays and possibly detours when a street is being paved.

"In construction zones, motorists are asked to slow down, use alternate routes and be mindful of workers," the city spokesperson said.

"In addition to paving, the city will conduct preventative maintenance activities such as crack sealing and microsurfacing throughout the season."
