The City of Rochester Street Maintenance team anticipates beginning the 2025 Chip Seal project the week of July 7. Yellow “NO PARKING THIS SIDE” signs will begin going up later this week to prepare residents and motorists for upcoming work.
The chip seal project will take place in three phases, with the following tentative schedule:
“No Parking” signs (as noted above) will be posted on affected streets ahead of work. All parking is prohibited in the posted work zones Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Violators will be ticketed and towed. Unless posted otherwise, parking is permitted on weekends and outside of work hours. Signs will remain up through July 25 or until all work and clean-up are completed.
Residents should expect temporary street closures, short-term delays, and increased traffic congestion near chip seal zones. Streets can be driven on once chips are placed and rolled, but caution is advised as loose chips will remain until street sweeping is complete. Loose gravel signs will be posted in affected areas. Final striping will follow sweeping on select roads.
As always, project timing is weather-dependent.
