Asphalt rejuvenator to be applied on several Hays streets Tuesday, Wednesday

City of Hays

Beginning Tuesday at 8 a.m. through Wednesday at 5 p.m. Proseal Inc., Augusta, will begin application of an asphalt rejuvenator on various streets throughout the city.

See above map for street locations.

"No streets will be completely closed," Jesse Rohr, public works director, said Friday. "Traffic will be reduced and slowed to one lane at times."

The two-day project is part of the Hays' 2023 street maintenance plan.

The asphalt rejuvenator application is a preservative seal that is used on newer asphalt streets that do not yet warrant more advanced treatment.

On the date scheduled for treatment, all cars need to be moved from the street by 8:00 a.m. Streets being sealed will be partially closed for a short duration during the time of the application. Access can be achieved in cases of emergency. Parking on adjacent streets is recommended during the daytime.  Parking in driveways is okay if you DO NOT plan on moving the vehicle during the daytime hours.

After application, the surface should not be driven on until the fine overlay of sand is applied. 

If tracked upon before curing is complete, the product may stain surfaces such as concrete, carpet, or flooring if tracked from construction areas. 

Please have all lawn watering devices turned off the evening before the scheduled date.  Please help keep the streets clean and dry for a smooth and lasting project. 

Traffic control will be set in areas of work being completed and picked up by the end of the work day. 

The city of Hays regrets any inconvenience this may cause to the public.  If there are any questions, please call the contractor Proseal, Inc. at 877- 650-9805 or the Hays Office of Project Management at 785-628-7350.
