Road

Roads are a lot like houses. Maintain them over time, they last longer and repairs cost less than if you let needed repairs go untouched.

Over time deterioration starts to happen. If the Town of Windsor ignored these issues, it could lead to increased costs, travel time and also hinder roadway safety.

Whether it’s filling potholes, sealing cracks, overlaying asphalt, or restriping lines, staff constantly assess roads for improvements.

Maintaining over 263 center lane miles takes a lot of work and requires patience and careful driving from commuters and residents alike. Thank you, Windsor residents, for driving safe and following posted speed limits in work zones, protecting our staff in the process.

Road Replacement

Crack Seal

Used to fill in gaps and cracks in a road. This type of preventative maintenance can be repeated as needed.

When a road has met the end of its useful life—meaning other repairs are no longer an option—the road must be replaced.

This is costly work that involves everything from utility infrastructure and subgrade to concrete and asphalt.

Asphalt Overlay

In this process, the top few inches of the road are replaced with new asphalt. Aside from total road replacement, this repair is among the most impactful to traffic, but is also more cost effective.

Roadway Seal

Covers the street with a thin layer of oil and rocks to seal small cracks and exposed rock within the pavement.

Curb & Gutter Repair

Curbs and gutters along the side of a road help guide rain and snow melt off the road. These are often repaired if they become a hazard or do not drain water away from the road properly.

Pothole Repair

If left untreated, a pothole will get larger which could accelerate the deterioration of the road around it.

Lane Stripes

Weather and age can impact how often a road needs to be striped. Because stripes guide traffic patterns, they are vital to roadway safety.
