San Angelo Streets To Close For Maintenance

SAN ANGELO, TX - The 2024 HA5 street maintenance project will begin Thursday, May 9, and last through Thursday, May 16. 

According to information from the City of San Angelo, affected streets will close at 7 a.m. prior to work being done and remain closed for 24 hours following the HA5 application.

Information stated that flyers have been given to homes in the area notifying them of the upcoming work. 

The contractor for this project is Andale Construction.

Citizens can be notified about road closures via text messaging by texting PRESERVATION to 833-359-7176.

Some key points:

• Once HA5 is applied, it cannot be driven on for 24 hours.
• Roads close at 7 a.m. and vehicles will be allowed to exit the area up until 7:30 a.m.
• Andale will have a shuttle service to carry residents from their vehicles to their homes if necessary.
• Street access for residents is prohibited only for the 24 hours that HA5 is applied in front of their home.
• Days of specific applications may change due to weather or other factors. Citizens can go directly to HA5info.com/sanangelo for maps and any updates on the project.
• It’s important for citizens to cut off sprinkler systems on their respective days. HA5 cannot be applied to roadways that are wet from sprinkler overspray or runoff.

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 HA5 cures. The City will pay for all tows.

HA5 is a surface treatment that limits oxidative damage on asphalt from moisture and ultraviolet (UV) radiation. 

Although inconvenient, the benefits HA5 provides are “considerable.” 

Streets treated with HA5 versus seal coat are cleaner, quieter, smoother and maintain their aesthetic black color for up to 8 years on average, according to information.

It serves two primary functions when applied to a roadway:

•  It seals the roadway to prevent moisture from penetrating into the street’s base.
• The product acts like a sunscreen and protects the street from oxidation from the sun’s UV radiation.

This treatment is ideal for roads with minimal wear and cracking.

"Utilizing this method is part of an effort to change the City’s focus from a reactive/repair-focused operation to a proactive/preservation operation," the city stated.
