    Pavement Preservation Program

    Header Image
    Overlay.JPG

    Pavement condition data is collected for all 1,100-plus lane miles of public streets every two years. It’s used to predict needed preservation work and to determine the best timing to maximize resources. A five-year pavement preservation plan is used to coordinate with other public and private projects. The types of work done under this program include: 

    • Resurfacing long stretches of roadways with fresh asphalt, typically done between April and October
    • Upgrading curb ramps and replacing sidewalks
    • Pavement sealing
    • New pavement markings

    Pavement Sealing

    Pavement sealing is a cost-effective tool for extending the life of the pavement and helps to keep Bellevue’s roads in good condition. Similar to painting your home, sealing the pavement protects against the deteriorating effects of rain and sun. Sealing is done before the pavement becomes extensively cracked or fails. The treatment is faster, less noisy, and provides a new wearing surface for a fraction of the cost of a traditional grind-and-overlay repaving project. 

    Pavement Sealing Pilot

    Micro sealing pavement preservation is a different method than the traditional grind and overlay. Recently, the city executed a pilot program on a few residential streets to test the performance of this new quick and cost-effective micro sealing method. The pilot will help the city evaluate different methods of preserving the roadway and potentially expand the preservation area coverage and manage rising costs. Residents should expect to see some rough roadway with fine aggregate dissipating on the road; however, the city has swept and will continue sweeping as needed.
     

    Where are we working this week?

    The latest Pavement Preservation weekly update includes information about paving locations and approximate work dates. Work for this program will resume in March 2023.

    Report a road hazard

    To report a pothole, sidewalk or road hazard that requires attention, contact the Operations and Maintenance 24-hour Emergency Response line at 425-452-7840 or email OMSupport@bellevuewa.gov. Call 911 to report more urgent issues.

    For contractors, engineers and project owners

    The City of Bellevue requires paving contractors to be pre-qualified annually in order to perform paving operations on arterial roadways. Proper equipment and quality workmanship are essential to meeting the city's construction standards. Pre-qualification helps ensure quality paving by verifying the contractor's equipment and past project performance

    • Pavement contractor pre-qualification application

    The requirements for pavement restoration following trenching or other disturbances are based on the Pavement Restoration Requirement Map. Please see the city's Design Manual, Section 23, for additional information on pavement restoration. 

    Bridge Preservation Program

    The purpose of the Bridge Preservation Program is to perform federally required inspections on Bellevue's bridges and to complete needed maintenance work.
