City of Kalispell releases pavement restoration list for 2018

The city of Kalispell has released the list of roads scheduled for pavement restoration projects in the 2018 construction season.

The restoration involves asphalt milling and overlay, patching potholes and sealing cracks on streets and alleys. City crews will do some of the work, and a yet to be determined contractor will do the rest.

The times may change due to weather or other unforeseen events. Any part of the list that isn’t accomplished will be moved to the top of next spring’s list. The projects for this season are as follows:

— One block of East Nevada Street between First Avenue and Second Avenue was scheduled for reconstruction the week of April 16.
