Street Maintenance Program FY 2025-2028
The Wilsonville Annual Street Maintenance Program funds the planning, design, and construction of street surface rehabilitation projects necessary to maintain a safe and reliable street network. This project represents the next three years of planned street maintenance across Wilsonville.
Current Construction - Crack Sealing and Spot Fixes (June 2025)
Currently, the City is working on performing Crack Sealing in the Villebois, Park at Merryfield, and other nearby neighborhoods bounded by the following roads: North of Wilsonville Road, South of Boeckman, West of Kinsman, and East of Grahams Ferry Road.
Crack sealing is a maintenance technique used to extend the life of roads. Crack sealing is like putting a waterproof bandage on a road. Over time, roads develop small cracks because of weather, traffic, or just age. If these cracks are left open, water can get in. That water can freeze and expand in cold weather, or wash away the soil underneath the road, which causes even more damage—like potholes. To stop that from happening, workers clean out the cracks and fill them with a rubbery material that stays flexible over time. This "seal" keeps out water and debris and helps prevent the cracks from getting bigger. Crack sealing is a way to fix small problems in the road before they become big ones. It's quick and effective, drying in about 30 minutes and is much cheaper than repaving the whole road.
In addition to crack sealing, construction crews will also be performing small, localized pavement spot repairs, which consists of construction crews removing and replacing small sections of damaged asphalt. These repairs focus only on the areas that are cracked, crumbling, or uneven. During a spot repair, construction crews will dig up the damaged asphalt in a specific area and then fill the area with new asphalt and smooth it out. It’s like cutting out a worn patch of carpet and replacing it with a new piece—it keeps the surface safe and extends the life of the entire street. Spot repairs are quicker and more cost-effective than repaving the whole road.
We understand that construction activity can be disruptive, and we want to reassure you that you will still be able to access your home and your neighborhood throughout the entire process.
Here’s what to expect:
In the pavement spot repair areas, indicated by the bold black lines on the map, No Parking signs will be put up 36 to 72 hours before work starts. Vehicles that parked in the these designated no parking zones will have to be towed to allow the work to proceed.
In the crack sealing areas, residents are asked to avoid street parking on the days crack sealing is planned in each work zone, allowing construction crews to fully access and seal the pavement cracks. However, parking restrictions will not be in place or enforced during the crack sealing work.
- During periods of active construction, there may be brief traffic delays. However, these will be limited to localized flagging — meaning traffic will be guided safely through the work area. There will be no full road closures.
- When work is taking place directly in front of your house or alley driveway, access may be interrupted for up to 30 minutes to allow the crack sealing work to be completed. After that short period, normal access will be restored.
What’s Next – Slurry Sealing (July & August 2025)
The City of Wilsonville will begin slurry sealing streets in the Villebois, Park at Merryfield, and other nearby neighborhoods the week of July 28th and extending through mid-August. This important work helps protect our roads and keep them safe for everyone.
Slurry sealing is like putting a new “coat” on your street. It involves spreading a thin layer of asphalt mixed with water and tiny gravel over the road. This layer fills in small cracks and smooths out bumps, protects the road from water and sun damage, improves traction for cars and bikes, and helps the road last longer.
You will see big trucks mixing and spreading this material carefully over the street. These trucks have a special box on the back that lays the slurry evenly, and crew members will be on-site to guide traffic and keep things safe.
Because the slurry needs time to dry and harden, the road will be fully closed for up to 10 hours each workday. That means:
- No driving, parking, or walking on the road during work hours (7 AM–5 PM)
- No driveway or garage access while work is happening
- You must move your car off the street before 7 AM if you want to drive that day
Please plan ahead! Parking nearby the night before or on side streets outside the work zone will help avoid getting towed.
How We’ll Keep You Informed:
- No Parking signs will be posted 36 to 72 hours before work begins
- You’ll get door hanger notices with the exact dates and details
- Contractors may come by to make sure everyone knows about the work and has moved their vehicles
If your car is parked on the street after 7 AM on a slurry sealing workday, it will be towed so the crews can work safely and efficiently.
We’re working closely with mail carriers and waste pickup services so you don’t miss out. Please put your trash and recycling bins out by 6 AM on pickup days. If needed, contractor crews will help move bins to accessible areas and return them after pickup. Mail and package deliveries will continue as usual with coordination from the City.
We understand how disruptive road closures can be. We don’t take your time and convenience lightly. Your cooperation will help us finish this work quickly and keep your streets safer and smoother for years to come.
If you have questions, special needs, or concerns, please contact us anytime.
