Pavement Management Program (ongoing)

Employees repairing street

Operated through the Municipal Services Department, the City of Lenexa's annual Pavement Management Program helps ensure Lenexa’s roads are safe and in good condition.

Projects are competitively bid, and plans may shift depending on bid responses the City receives. Pavement work is anticipated to start in late spring. Weather permitting, it will finish in the fall.

The $7 million 2024 program includes funding from the 3/8-cent sales tax, the City’s share of gas tax revenue and property taxes. The Lackman Road portion of the program received more than $600,000 from Johnson County’s County Assisted Road System (CARS) funding.

Street Reconstruction

Full street reconstruction program will take place in these areas:

Keep up with traffic impacts

  • Our staff reaches out to impacted households through doorhangers and communication with homeowners associations.
  • Watch for digital message boards on your regular routes alerting you to future traffic impacts. Prepare for delays or find an alternative route.
  • When construction will cause major traffic delays, like when a street is fully closed, we send out a Road Closure Alert email. Watch for alerts to be posted on our social media accounts.

Frequently asked questions

Why is there a need for timely maintenance of the City's streets?

Through timely maintenance of streets, we are better able to provide safe roads on which you can travel. Studies have shown pavement conditions worsen at an increasing rate as the pavement gets older. Restoration of pavement near the end of its service life typically costs four to five times more than preventive routine maintenance.

What types of street treatments are available?

A variety of street treatments are available. We choose the appropriate treatment based on value and street condition. The treatments include granite seal, crack seal, micro seal, mill and overlay, reconstruction, rejuvenator and ultra-thin bonded asphalt surface. 

How long do I need to stay off the freshly treated streets?

  • Concrete: Typically, three days is required until motor vehicles are allowed to drive on it.

  • Micro surface: Please wait until the contractor has removed all cones and barricades. The drying time for these treatments varies based on weather conditions.

  • Granite seal: You can drive on a granite seal right after it is applied. Please drive slowly and avoid braking sharply within the first few hours.

  • Ultra-thin bonded asphalt: You can drive on UBAS right after it is applied.

Why does the new curb color not match?

The new curb was sprayed with a curing compound. This compound has a white pigment for installation. The "whiteness" of the curb will fade over time.

Why is the City replacing good curb?

Much of the concrete used before 2002 consisted of soft limestone aggregate, which caused cracking. Most of our driveways and curbs have signs of this. Once the cracking occurs, the only fix is to remove and replace the curb. If we do not replace it at the time we are there, it will be completely deteriorated before we return the next cycle.

Why does the City grind sidewalks?

As sidewalk settles or is raised by tree roots, trip hazards are created. Generally, anything over 3/4 inch is considered a trip hazard. This does not warrant complete replacement of the sidewalk. Instead, the grinding is an effective way to remove these trip hazards.

What do I do if my sprinkler system is damaged?

Our contractor for the Pavement Management Program will make the repairs. You will not be reimbursed if you choose to have your own contractor make the repairs. Please submit a service request.

Will the City sod my yard?

Lawns damaged by construction will be seeded. You should water the newly placed seed at a rate of 3 inches per week in five or six applications per week, until the roots of the grass are anchored in place.
