Project Description

The annual Street Resurfacing Program combines publicly bid projects with the City of Fort Wayne's capabilities to mill existing deteriorated asphalt street pavements and then establish a newly restored driving surface. The City of Fort Wayne has a pavement management system (PASER) that rates the condition of all streets within the city limits on a regular and consistent basis. These ratings range from 1 being the worst condition to 10 being the best condition. These ratings are used each year to determine which streets meet the criteria for resurfacing.

After determining all the streets that meet these criteria, the City will look at all conflicting, upcoming construction projects that can range from utility projects to future roadway expansions. These conflicts will be taken into consideration in determining whether to move forward with the resurfacing of those streets. The resurfacing of some streets may be delayed until after other, unrelated work, is completed so newly resurfaced streets are not damaged by this construction.

This construction year we will be resurfacing approximately 15 miles of asphalt pavement including several multi-lane roadways. There are more streets that meet the criteria for resurfacing than funds available. The city will then evaluate the most efficient manner of grouping these streets into resurfacing packages to be bid out to contractors for that current year. Our 2026 Street Resurfacing Program projects are outlined below:

The list of streets scheduled for resurfacing are subject to change due to conflicts with utilities or budget issues. If a street is removed due to a conflict, this street will be added to next year's resurfacing packages.

Note: Street Resurfacing Projects are grouped by proximity and may not follow City quadrant boundaries.

    AVOID DISTRACTIONS!

    Be aware of all signage and reduced speeds. Avoid distractions such as cell phones, eating/drinking, and radio.

  • BARRICADES

    DO NOT MOVE BARRICADES!

    The contractor will move them once pavement passes testing and can withstand vehicle weights.

  • WORKER SAFETY

    BE PREPARED TO STOP!

    Slow down and give workers extra room. Drive cautiously through the jobsite especially If workers are on site.
