According to the city’s website, the City of Chilliwack tenders asphalt rehabilitation work for various roads to maintain the driving surface and reduce maintenance costs.

Typically the engineering department recommends rehabilitation of roads in the worst condition in each classification based on a condition survey which is updated every five years. A comprehensive survey was last conducted by Stantec in the late summer of 2017.

Minor drainage and curb and gutter improvements will be made adjacent to rehabilitation projects where significant deterioration has occurred or upgrades are required.

The engineering department says that it coordinates both timing and scope of work with operations, development, and utility departments. The city says this type of collaboration avoids unnecessary utility cuts in newer asphalt, increases cost efficiencies, and minimizes impacts to residents.
