Work will begin at approximately 7:00 am and continue to 6:00 pm. Residents should expect lane
closures with delays. Floggers and/or traffic devices will be In place to direct traffic. Expect heavy
truck traffic during the project work hours. Schedules are subject to change based on weather and
equipment operations.
This road maintenance will consist of 3 major tasks - Milling, Tack Oil, and Paving. Please refer to the
map on the City of Kalispell website KalispelLmm) for mill, tack and overlay schedules.
1. During the milling process (whereby the existing blacktop is removed from the street), you will
be able to get your cars into and out of your driveways with relatively short notice, except for
when the milling equipment is working directly In front of your property.
2. Tack ail is a hat ail product that helps asphalt stick to the surface. Residents sh0uld avoid
driving and/or walking on wet tack oil. Please keep pets off the tack oil to avoid injuries to their
paws. Tack ail is applied at high temperatures and will stick to vehicles. tires, shoes, etc. which
an be tracked onto areas not within the construction zone. Residents are encouraged to utilize
alternate parking areas during this time. A neighbor across the street would be a great resource
for alternate parking: please be sure to speak to your neighbor and ask permission before
construction starts.
3. During the paving process and after an area is paved, it's imperative that adequate time
(usually 4 to 6 hours) is allowed for the new blacktop to be pmpedy compacted and cooled
before traffic can drive on it. Please avoid giving and walking on the new asphalt mat,
especially with pets. This will prevent damage to both the new street surface, your car finish
and tires, and your per paws. Residents are strongly encouraged to make sure that their
automobiles are moved out of their driveways antl off their street before this time.
The City of Kalispell would like to thank you for your understanding while we perform needed repairs
In your area.
