Will Badly Needed N. Chadbourne Paving Project Interfere with the Stock Show & Rodeo?

SAN ANGELO, TX – The North Chadbourne roadway paving project is set to commence on Monday, Jan. 8. 

According to the City of San Angelo Friday, the project will bring intermittent road closures along North Chadbourne in both directions from 7th Street to 43rd Street during “off-peak hours.”

Officials say the paving project contractor will work around the San Angelo Stock Show in February and the historic and legendary San Angelo Rodeo in April.  All work will stop during those two major events.  

During the initial phase in January, the contractor will focus on prep work, involving the adjustment of utility valves and manholes in preparation for the subsequent road resurfacing. 

At least one lane of traffic will be maintained in each direction throughout the project's duration.

Closures will be confined to the specific areas where crews are actively engaged in work.

Businesses within these road closures remain open, with access maintained for patrons.

While the current closures will be localized, future closures will be announced as the project progresses. 

Proposed timeline for N. Chadbourne Street Project (subject to potential weather delays): 

January: Prep work of roadway – adjusting utility valves and manholes.  

February: The majority of the work will stop due to the Stock Show occurring. Some minor work may occur during this time, but traffic will not be greatly affected. 

March: Road resurfacing will begin. The goal is to have it completed by the end of March so that N. Chadbourne is ready for the 2024 San Angelo Rodeo in April.  

April: The majority of the work will stop due to the Rodeo occurring. Some minor work may occur during this time, but traffic will not be greatly affected. 

May-October: Intersections, valves, and manholes will be worked on during this time. The official project end date for the entire project is October 2024. 

The project will include stabilization of the roadway base layer and concrete improvements at the approaches of driveways, intersections, and gutters.

The North Chadbourne Street Project will employ the full-depth reclamation method, a technique previously successfully utilized along Rio Concho Drive. 

This method should provide a more robust roadway with enhanced longevity across the entire corridor, according to The City of San Angelo.
