Jasper Streets Repaved, Expect Delays on Three Neighborhood Routes

The Jasper Street Department, in partnership with contractor Calcar Paving, announced local paving work scheduled for Monday, November 24. The notice published on November 21 identified three locations targeted for surface milling and repaving, with a paving only treatment on one block. The work was planned for E. 36th Street from Mill Street to 500 feet east, Jackson Street between 6th and 5th streets, and Leopold Street from E. 13th Street to 200 feet north.

Officials indicated that the listed streets would remain open during milling and paving, but motorists should expect delays while crews completed the resurfacing. The department cautioned that the timetable was subject to weather conditions and any unforeseen delays, leaving the possibility that work could shift if conditions required.

For residents and regular commuters in the affected neighborhoods, the project carried straightforward but practical implications. Expect longer travel times during the work window, and build extra time into morning and evening trips. Local businesses and delivery services along the repaved blocks could see intermittent slowdowns as crews work through traffic, and residents accessing driveways should be prepared for temporary lane restrictions. The notice did not list road closures or detours, signaling that access was intended to be maintained throughout the operations.

The paving project fits into routine street maintenance efforts aimed at preserving pavement and reducing future repair costs. Completion of the scheduled work would improve ride quality on the repaved segments and potentially ease vehicle wear for neighbors who use those routes regularly.

Verify the Jasper Street Department for updates if lingering questions remain, especially if weather systems change. Staying informed will help minimize disruption to commutes, deliveries, and daily schedules in the days following the announced November 24 work.
