Surface streets from N.E. 98th north to be sealed next week

Maple Leaf streets will be closed for up to eight hours at a time during parts of next week as the Seattle Department of Transportation performs “microsurfacing.”

What to expect during construction

2-3 days before the work begins, crews will place “no parking” signs on streets and distribute confirmation notices with dates and instructions. Cars must be relocated off the road and planting strip area prior to the start of work.

On the day of microsurfacing, please remove all personal items from the road and park cars on a nearby block not being microsurfaced. Noise, tar-like odors and large equipment associated with microsurfacing can be expected. To ensure best results, the street will be closed to vehicles for up to 8 hours. We encourage everyone to avoid the road surface during this time. When wet, the microsurfacing emulsion is sticky and difficult to remove from clothing and pet fur.

If your regular garbage collection or recycling pick-up is scheduled on the same day as this work, please have your bins to the curb before 6 AM to ensure collection.

What’s microsurfacing?

Microsurfacing is a cost-effective method to maintain roads by coating them with a protective sealant, extending their life by approximately 7-10 years. Unlike chip-sealing, this application process resurfaces the road without using or dispersing relatively large pieces of gravel.
