Eagan's street maintenance crews take pride in keeping Eagan's roads in good condition. The City has adopted a Pavement Management Plan to track and evaluate the condition of all 245 miles of streets. This program establishes the strategic maintenance procedure to extend the life cycle of our roadways as economically and efficiently as possible.

Summer Street Maintenance 2026

Crackseal & Sealcoat & Rejuvenator Operations are done for the season!  Crews will continue sweeping access rocks throughout the upcoming months.

Due to uncertainties with rain and operator speed, schedules can only be estimated one week in advance. Check back frequently to see the latest daily updates. Thank you for your patience and continued support as we work to keep Eagan streets among the best around.

Crackseal Operations

The City of Eagan integrates many preventive maintenance strategies in our pavement preservation program. Cracksealing is the method of routing out existing cracks and applying a rubberized sealant to seal cracks in pavement surfaces. This helps prevent moisture from infiltrating the pavement structure. Moisture in the pavement structure weakens the structural subsurface layers and is a primary cause of pavement deterioration. Street crews will be sweeping for debris after the application is complete. Cracksealing is a major street fund-financed maintenance procedure.

Questions or concerns can be directed to the Eagan Maintenance Facility 651-675-5300.

Alternatively, you can give us the street name as well as the cross street. (For example: “On Duckwood Drive between Denmark Avenue and Widgeon Way” or “At the intersection of Duckwood Drive and Denmark Avenue.”)
• A description of the pothole or pavement condition.
• How deep, wide, or severe is the pothole?
• You can also upload a picture.

You can also call the Maintenance Facility to report a pothole or street maintenance issue Monday through Friday, between 7:00 a.m.–3:30 p.m. at 651-675-5300.

Sealcoat Operations

Sealcoating is the process of spraying a rapid-setting asphalt emulsion on the existing surface, followed immediately by laying a small coating of rock chips over it. This process is also called chip sealing. Sealcoating is a major street fund-financed maintenance procedure.

Questions or concerns to be directed to the Eagan Maintenance Facility 651-675-5300.

Resident Impact

The help of residents and the driving public is essential. Your cooperation and observance of parking restrictions will add to the quality of work. Slow, conservative driving over the first few days will help toughen and smooth the new surface. Fast stops and starts, and sharp turns when exiting your driveways, can mar the fresh sealcoat and expose the sticky tar undercoating.  Here is what you need to know:

"No Parking” signs will be placed before contractors hired by the City start the application process. When signs are placed, please park all vehicles off the designated public street segments. This is a necessary inconvenience that allows the contractors to perform a complete and thorough job.

Sealcoating is a highly weather-dependent procedure. Because the street surface must be completely dry, please refrain from using sprinklers or watering yards near the street until the sealcoat rock has been placed.

The application process is quick and driving is permitted on the new surface immediately after the rock is applied.

It generally takes 1-2 weeks to complete all the designated areas in the City.  Sweeping in the designated areas will occur shortly after the application has been completed, and conditions will continue to be monitored.

It is common for excess rocks to shed for up to 2 years.  Excess rock will be swept up multiple times over several months after the initial application.

Purpose of Sealcoating

The primary reason to seal coat an asphalt pavement is to protect the pavement surface from two of the most destructive natural elements - sun and water. Sealcoating provides a waterproof membrane that helps the pavement shed water, preventing it from entering the base material.  A secondary benefit is an increase in the surface friction when the cover aggregate adds additional texture to the pavement. The purpose and process can be compared to how asphalt driveways often have a similar protective coating applied.

Sealcoating is a necessary maintenance procedure that lengthens the life of the street and protects our initial investment. The City of Eagan is proud to have one of the most fully implemented Pavement Management Programs in the state. This computerized program assists in carefully monitoring the condition of our pavements and assisting in scheduling cost effective preventative maintenance strategies.

Why Rocks?

The City has long struggled with how to best protect our mutual investment in roadway infrastructure while providing the best service possible and minimizing interruptions of access to homes.  The City chooses to use the sealcoat process because it is currently the best known practice out there, resulting in the most effective street maintenance and longest lasting street durability. Even though we currently practice the same sealcoat/chipseal process as most local cities in the Midwest, the City of Eagan has, and will continue to, research new and better ways to meet our maintenance obligations and property owner expectations.  You will not get billed or be charged directly for this service. Seal coating is a General Fund street maintenance procedure paid for with your property taxes.

Street Sweeping

Since 1992, the City has swept streets to benefit lake water quality. Street sweeping helps keep debris and nutrients out of lakes and ponds. The City has about four priority sweeping times per year.

Sweeping Focus

• Spring Sweeping: The first round of spring sweeping starts as soon as the weather permits. The surface needs to be completely dry before we can sweep. It takes crews 4–6 weeks to sweep the entire City once.
• Sealcoat Sweeping: The first round of sealcoat sweeping will occur soon after the initial application. Additional sweeping will continue about 2–3 more times during this summer months. If necessary we will come back to sweep in certain areas and monitor conditions. It is common for excess rocks to shed for up to two years.
• Water Resources Sweeping: About four times per year, the city collects debris in the spring and fall on approximately 35 miles of streets near selected waterbodies (Water Quality Sweeping Map).
• Fall Sweeping - The first round of fall sweeping will start sometime in September depending on conditions. It takes crews 6-8 weeks to sweep the entire City once.

Help us Keep our Lakes and Ponds Clean

Everything that lands in the streets eventually travels through the storm drainage system to lakes and ponds. Remember that leaves and grass should stay on your yard and not be raked or placed onto the streets. This is not only illegal but also harms both lakes and equipment. Try mulching leaves into your lawn, composting them in a backyard container or bringing them to a compost center.
