Sedona AZ (September 21, 2016) – The city of Sedona has contracted for milling and paving operations on Sunset Drive and Mountain Shadows Drive starting September 22, 2016, continuing through October 15, 2016. Additionally, a fractured aggregate surface treatment (FAST) will be applied to Pony Soldier Road, and crack sealing will be done throughout the remainder of the Sedona West and Sedona West Number Two subdivisions.

“The repaving of Sunset Drive and Mountain Shadows Drive is part of our annual scheduled maintenance program, while the FAST application is being done as a trial,” said Stephen Craver, city of Sedona engineering supervisor.

FAST is an alternative to a typical mill and overlay that is being explored for residential streets with lower traffic volumes. It provides a similar lifespan as an overlay at a fraction of the cost. “If we receive positive feedback, the FAST application will allow us to maintain more miles of residential streets per year,” added Craver.

Construction activities will generally occur from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., with traffic regularly restricted to a single lane, causing potential delays. Residents are encouraged to plan ahead, as access to residential driveways will be restricted for up to an hour while Cactus Asphalt applies the fresh asphalt and allows it to cool. On street parking will also be restricted during construction.
