Resurfacing

Each year, the City of Seattle allocates funds for arterial paving and resurfacing. The Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) manages this and other street maintenance programs. SDOT also monitors the conditions of City streets and selects the streets to be paved.

The larger part of the arterial paving funds is used for work bid out to private contractors. In addition to the work performed by private contractors, SDOT’s own street paving crews perform small, spot paving projects on arterial streets.

In addition to the streets included in Seattle Transportation's annual paving program, some streets are paved as part of projects that include general street improvements.
