GALVESTON – The City of Galveston will begin the second phase of its ongoing pavement preservation project in the next two weeks, with more than 20 roadways scheduled for resurfacing across the island. This project is designed to repair and treat streets, keeping them smooth, safe, and durable for residents.

In 2023, the City completed a comprehensive pavement assessment of all roadways and developed a multi-year plan to address necessary repairs. The first round of improvements was completed in 2024. This next phase includes streets located across the island.

Residents who live on streets scheduled for repaving will receive advance notice via door hanger prior to the start of construction on their roadway.

The project is expected to continue through June at an estimated cost of approximately $1.5 million.

The contractor will apply a pavement preservation treatment known as micro-surfacing, which helps extend the life of existing roadways and improve driving conditions. The project will be completed in a multi-step process consisting of asphalt patching, crack sealing, scrub sealing, micro-surfacing, and pavement marking.

There will be an anticipated gap of approximately 30 days between completion of the first two steps (asphalt patching and crack sealing) and the start of scrub sealing, micro-surfacing, and pavement marking, so please note that the initial results are not the final product.

Drivers may experience minor traffic delays during construction. The City appreciates the public’s patience as we work to maintain and improve roadway conditions across Galveston.
