The Tyler City Council approved a $946,751 contract with Reynolds and Kay for the 2026 Seal Coat Project Wednesday. Approximately 17 lane miles of city streets will be covered by the project; the roads were chosen based on pavement condition ratings. <!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Over existing asphalt, seal coating offers a protective layer that helps seal small cracks, lessen water penetration, and protect pavement from weather damage and oxidation. The treatment is thought to be an efficient method of maintaining streets that are still in fair to good condition, even though it does not repair roads that are already failing.<\/p>\n<p>It is anticipated that construction will start in May 2026 and be finished by October 2026.
