SAN ANGELO – Construction crews continue to sealcoat San Angelo streets this week in the Southland area. The City of San Angelo has contracted with CK Newberry, LLC to sealcoat streets in certain areas.
The work will take four to six weeks. Maps of the streets to be sealed will be distributed next week to the media, City social media pages and posted on cosatx.us/streets.
Areas treated:
- Southland area from Ridgecrest north to Loop 306
- Country Club Lake Estates
- Las Lomas Estates
- Country Club Road, Grand Canal Road, Templin Road, Ranch Lane, Wrangler Lane
- Ben Ficklin Road from Country Club Road to Loop 306, The Crossings, South Crossings Court
- Fort Concho Area south of the river to Ave. G
Notices are currently being distributed to homeowners informing them that their streets will be treated. This will provide residents with the opportunity to move vehicles from the roadway. Residents are encouraged to relocate their vehicles during the sealcoating weeks as vehicles left in the right-of-way can result in an untreated area of pavement which interferes with the intent of the sealcoating process.
If a vehicle is parked on the street during the application time, Home Motors will tow it out of the construction zone and then place it back in the original location after the sealcoating cures. The City will pay for all tows.

Sealcoating is not to be confused with resurfacing a roadway. Sealcoating involves applying a thin layer of asphalt and rock to a street’s surface. This method of maintenance prevents moisture from seeping into the asphalt and damaging the roadway’s base. The process assists in preventing new or additional cracking that eventually lead to pothole formation.
Contractor CK Newberry LLC will be sealcoating selected city streets throughout the community. This marks the seventh year of an eight-year cycle to maintain every city roadway in San Angelo.
