Evans street work set for Oct. 15; parking limits planned in two areas
The city says it does not anticipate road closures, though drivers may encounter crews and temporary traffic disruptions. The contractor will contact affected residents at least 72 hours before work so they can arrange other parking.
Construction under the City of Evans' 2026 Street Maintenance Program is scheduled to begin Oct. 15, with short-term on-street parking restrictions planned in the McNitt Street neighborhood and along Lupton Avenue.
The city does not anticipate road closures, and motorists may encounter construction equipment, crews and temporary traffic disruptions in active work areas, the city said. Temporary, short-term on-street parking restrictions will be necessary in the McNitt Street neighborhood and along Lupton Avenue. The contractor will contact affected residents directly at least 72 hours before work begins in their area so they can make alternative parking arrangements.
Concrete repairs and utility-related work are scheduled to begin Oct. 15, ahead of milling and paving. On 40th Street from 17th Avenue to the gravel transition, milling is scheduled for Oct. 27 and paving for Oct. 28; on 17th Avenue from 37th Street to 42nd Street, milling is scheduled for Oct. 28-29 and paving for Oct. 30-Nov. 2. In the McNitt Street neighborhood, work on Baldwin, Cramer and O'Connor avenues from 32nd Street to McNitt Street, McNitt Street, and Barclay, Bimey, Dickson and Ellis courts is scheduled for milling Nov. 10-13 and paving Nov. 16-19. Lupton Avenue from 32nd Street to 34th Street is scheduled for milling Nov. 12 and paving Nov. 13. All construction dates are subject to change depending on weather conditions and other unforeseen circumstances, the city said.
City Council approved a $1.1 million construction contract for the program at its Oct. 6 meeting. The city allocated $1.7 million for pavement improvements in its 2026 budget. The remaining approximately $600,000 will be carried forward to support additional street improvements in 2027.
The City's Engineering Department selected this year's roadway segments based on pavement-condition scanning conducted in 2025. The assessment helped identify and prioritize streets in need of maintenance, the city said. Mill and overlay removes the worn or deteriorated upper layer of asphalt and replaces it with new pavement. The process helps extend the useful life of existing roadways, improves driving conditions and reduces the need for more extensive reconstruction, the city said.
