2023 Street Maintenance Program

In 2023, thirteen lane miles in Spring Hill will receive base and surface repairs. Repairs include three types of maintenance with weeks or months between the steps to allow proper cure time. Here is what Spring Hill residents can expect during this project:

  1. Crack Seal - Fill cracks with an asphalt-based product to keep moisture out of the base. Water causes extreme damage to streets if not prevented. 
  2. Base repairs - Problem areas in the streets are milled and filled with hot fix asphalt. Special attention is given to the sides of the road to keep is structurally strong. 
  3. Resurfacing - The entire road is resurfaced with a chip seal or an asphalt overlay. The chip seal is an asphalt emulsion mixture that is covered with small chips to form a bond and prevent water from infiltrating the case and causing potholes or other street damage. The second process that is used is an asphalt overlay when the chip seal is not enough.

Multiple contracted companies are conducting work on the project. The City of Spring Hill has a map of streets included in this year's street maintenance program.
