The City of Fairbanks Public Works Department is committed to ensuring that our streets remain safe and navigable for all residents and visitors. Street maintenance is a critical part of our efforts to maintain the city's infrastructure, and it encompasses a wide range of activities aimed at preserving and improving road conditions.
One of the most visible aspects of our street maintenance program is pothole patching. Potholes can develop quickly, especially during the freeze-thaw cycles that are common in Fairbanks. Our crews are equipped to respond promptly to pothole reports, using a variety of techniques to fill and repair these road hazards. We prioritize high-traffic areas and roads that serve as critical connectors within the city. By addressing potholes early, we can prevent further deterioration of the road surface and enhance the safety and comfort of your commute.
In addition to pothole patching, the Public Works Department undertakes more extensive road repair projects throughout the year. These projects can range from resurfacing sections of road to full-scale reconstruction efforts, depending on the condition of the pavement and underlying infrastructure. Our goal is to ensure that all roads in Fairbanks meet a high standard of quality, providing a smooth and durable driving surface for years to come.
Street maintenance is not just a seasonal activity; it is an ongoing commitment to the well-being of our community. During the warmer months, we focus on proactive repairs, such as sealing cracks and addressing minor damage before it can escalate. In the winter, our crews are on alert to respond to immediate issues that arise due to harsh weather conditions.
We also encourage residents to be part of the solution by reporting any street issues they encounter. Whether it's a pothole, a section of road that seems to be deteriorating, or any other concern, your input helps us target our efforts where they are most needed.
The City of Fairbanks Public Works Department takes pride in maintaining our streets, ensuring that they are safe, functional, and resilient. We are committed to keeping Fairbanks moving, no matter the season.
