Annual Crackseal Program

Each year, the City of Inver Grove Heights conducts a crackseal project on several streets during the summer as part of the City’s Pavement Management Program. This is considered a regular street maintenance item.

This project will involve routing of the cracks in the street and/or along the curb, filling the routed cracks with a bituminous sealant material, and then covering the sealant with a protectant to allow traffic. 

• Dakota County also performs annually cracksealing, which can impact roads in IGH. Learn more about their current project areas by visiting the Dakota County current road construction webpage and selecting Inver Grove Heights.

Summer 2023

Traffic Impacts

• Please observe flaggers, if preset, posted warning signs and no parking signs.
  • The contractor has the option to post “No Parking” signs 24-hours in advance of any work and have any parked vehicle towed at the owner’s expense. Please abide by the signs if posted.
• Access to private properties during cracksealing will be maintained to the fullest extent possible.
• Please do not park on the streets from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. during the project timeline until the crackseal operation is completed and the street is swept in front of your property.

Important Notes

• The start date on any given street is dependent on several factors including weather, contractor schedule, and completion of prior streets.
• When a street is being cracksealed, it should only take a day to complete.
• If your residence is on a street with cracksealing, please ensure sprinklers in your lawn are turned off until one full day after cracksealing is placed.
