The City of South Bend’s Department of Public Works 2020 paving season kicks off this week and will go through mid-November. The first phase will include 36 lane miles of streets to be paved in the city. About 15 lane miles of the paving will be done by City crews, while the rest will be performed by private contractors.

The City will also bid out a second phase of street paving early summer. This list is being finalized and will be released at a later date.

Once the paving crews begin work, it will take approximately three to five days to complete each segment of street on this list. Streets must be milled and prepped prior to paving and will be closed during working operations (6:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.). Signage will be posted prior to the start of work so residents and businesses are aware of the upcoming work.
